If you use Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT every day, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You ask a high-stakes engineering question like: "Should we migrate this legacy monolith to microservices or just optimize the DB?"
And 99% of the time, the AI spits out the exact same lukewarm, fence-sitting, generic "pros and cons" garbage.
The AI isn't inherently stupid—it just lacks structured mental models. It statistically predicts words instead of algorithmically solving problems.
I got tired of this. So I spent the last 3 months building Think Better — an open-source collection of "Skills" that literally forces your AI to stop hallucinating and start thinking using hard decision science.
How these "Logic Skills" work
Instead of relying on fragile system prompts, these Skills equip your AI with a local BM25 Search algorithm (via embedded Python) running over a heavily curated Knowledge Base of pure logic:
10 Strategic Decision Frameworks: (Hypothesis-Driven Trees, Pre-mortem Analysis, Weighted Matrices)
12 Cognitive Bias Detectors: It actively detects flaws in your logic. If you defend an old tech stack just because you wrote it, the AI triggers Status Quo Bias and mathematically forces you to calculate the cost of inaction.
10 Lethal Problem Solving Methods: (MECE Decomposition, Profitability Trees, Root Cause Isolation)
Upgrade your AI in exactly 30 seconds
The repository provides a Go-based installer that instantly packs and mounts these Python/CSV skills directly into your local AI workspace (.claude, .copilot, etc). It runs 100% locally. Zero API keys. Zero telemetry.
bash
git clone https://github.com/HoangTheQuyen/think-better.git
cd think-better
make build
# Install the skills into your AI assistant
./bin/think-better init --ai antigravity
Next time a production system goes down, type "Revenue dropped 20% tonight. Help me find the root cause." Instead of generic advice, your AI will trigger the Problem Solving skill, rip open a MECE Profitability Tree, and ruthlessly decompose the issue layer by layer until the bug is dead.
This is the upgrade your AI actually needs. Star the repo if you hate generic AI answers: https://github.com/HoangTheQuyen/think-better
Would love to hear feedback from builders and anyone obsessed with optimizing local AI workflows!
