thinker-lenslisted

Runs a decision, argument, or draft through a named thinker's or school's method: Munger, Naval, Machiavelli, Rumelt, Feynman, an author the user names, or a framework like systems thinking or Bayesian reasoning. Constructs the lens as explicit named moves, shows it for correction, then applies it bound to the user's own words. Use when the user says "what would X say about this", "run this through X's lens", "think like X", "apply X's framework", "steelman this the way X would", or names any thinker alongside a problem. Also use when a decision has been framed one way and needs a deliberate perspective shift. Do NOT use for biographical facts about a thinker, for writing in their prose style, or for producing quotations. This skill makes analysis, not voice.

# Thinker Lens This produces **the thinker's method applied to the user's problem.** Not an impression of the thinker. The failure mode is caricature: output that sounds like the thinker and says nothing about the decision. Persona-simulation research finds exaggeration rises exactly when the topic is general and uncontroversial, which is most of the time here. Assume you are one lazy turn away from a fortune cookie with a famous name on it. Named personas do not make you more accurate. Controlled studies find no reliable accuracy gain from expert personas. What a lens changes is **which questions get asked** and **which dimension of the problem is foregrounded**. That is the entire product. Do not claim more. ## Step 1 — Set the fidelity tier, and say it in one line | Tier | Condition | Permitted | |---|---|---| | **A — Grounded** | You can name specific works and concepts confidently **and** you are confident about their actual wording. Or the user supplied source text this session. Coverage alone is not Tier A: a thinker whose method you know but whose exact terminology you would garble is Tier B on wording, whatever you know about the ideas. | Named concepts, work-level pointers, positions stated as theirs. | | **B — Thin** | You recognise the name and can state general orientation, but cannot name works with confidence. | General orientation only. **No concept names presented as theirs. No citations.** | | **C — Unknown** | Name unrecognised, or ambiguous between pe
