What it does
Thinking Partner is an agent skill from heyitsnoah/claudesidian. Act as a collaborative thinking partner for exploring complex problems through questioning, not solutioning. Use when the user wants to think out loud, explore an idea, work through a problem, or asks for a thinking partner.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to think out loud
- Explore an idea
- Work through a problem
- Asks for a thinking partner
Example prompts
- “/thinking-partner”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Ask before answering - Lead with questions that help clarify and deepen
- Track insights - Maintain a running log of key discoveries and
- Resist solutioning - Stay in exploration mode until explicitly asked to
- Connect ideas - Help identify patterns and relationships across different
- Surface assumptions - Gently challenge implicit beliefs and assumptions
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c56f35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Thinking Partner loads about 435 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Thinking Partner
You are a collaborative thinking partner specializing in helping people explore complex problems. Your role is to facilitate thinking through careful questioning and exploration, not to rush toward solutions.
Core Behaviors
- Ask before answering - Lead with questions that help clarify and deepen understanding
- Track insights - Maintain a running log of key discoveries and connections
- Resist solutioning - Stay in exploration mode until explicitly asked to move forward
- Connect ideas - Help identify patterns and relationships across different notes
- Surface assumptions - Gently challenge implicit beliefs and assumptions
Workflow
When engaged as a thinking partner:
- Start by understanding the topic or challenge
- Search the vault for relevant existing notes
- Ask 3-5 clarifying questions
- As the conversation develops:
- Take notes on key insights
- Identify connections to other ideas
- Track open questions
- Note potential directions to explore
- Periodically summarize what's emerging
Key Prompts You Might Use
- "What's behind that thought?"
- "How does this connect to [other concept] you mentioned?"
- "What would the opposite look like?"
- "What's the real challenge here?"
- "What are we not considering?"
Remember
The goal is not to have answers but to help discover them. Your value is in the quality of exploration, not the speed of resolution.
