# /think $ARGUMENTS The three Core Thinking Principles as one workflow. Run in order - do not skip phases. **Synergy:** /aristotle is the deconstruction engine (for new design OR existing systems under concrete pressure). /socrates is the examination engine (for existing rules/principles WITHOUT concrete pressure - /aristotle's Phase 0 routes there). /prioritise is the ranking interface. /think is the build interface that chains /aristotle + 5-step + instantiation. **If /aristotle Phase 0 routes to /socrates, /think does not apply** - the input was examine-shaped, not build-shaped. Run /socrates directly and return. ## Step 1: Aristotle First Principles Invoke `/aristotle` on the problem. Full 5-phase deconstruction: - Assumption autopsy - Irreducible truths - Reconstruct from zero (3 candidates) - Assumption vs truth map - The Aristotelian Move (single highest-leverage action) ## Step 2: 5-Step Engineering Algorithm Apply to the Aristotelian Move (Phase 5 output). In order - do not skip, do not reverse: 1. **Question** - is this actually needed? Whose need does it serve? 2. **Delete** - actively try to remove 10% of it. If nothing was deleted, you haven't deleted enough. 3. **Simplify** - for what remains: fewer steps, fewer dependencies, shorter. 4. **Accelerate** - make the remaining essential parts faster. 5. **Automate** - last. Never automate what should be deleted. ## Step 3: Instantiation Check Before shipping: **does the solution embody the problem it preven
