What it does

Arming Thought is an agent skill from HughYau/qiushi-skill. 求是方法论的入口与总原则。在每次新的顶层会话开始时加载一次,用「实事求是」约束全部判断,并只在明确适用时把任务路由到对应的方法论 skill;被派遣执行单一具体任务的子 agent 直接跳过。 English: Entry point and governing principle of the Qiushi methodology. Load once at the start of a top-level session to enforce "seek truth from facts" and route to a downstream skill only when it clearly helps. Delegated sub-agents on narrow tasks should skip it.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Qiushi-Skill: Build agents that investigate first, focus on the main contradiction, validate in practice, and keep pushing until the work is actually done… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “seek truth from facts”
  • “/arming-thought”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 一次只选一个主 skill,需要时再交接给第二个。
  2. 宿主已有等价流程(内置的 plan、review、todo)时,以宿主流程为准,在其内部吸收方法论,不重复输出模板。
  3. 不为"形式完整"而机械调用;方法论只在能明显改善判断或行动时才用。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ace717. 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

Arming Thought loads about 393 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~393

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.

武装思想

"'实事'就是客观存在着的一切事物,'是'就是客观事物的内部联系,即规律性,'求'就是我们去研究。" —— 《改造我们的学习》

子 agent 执行单一具体任务时:跳过本 skill。

总原则:实事求是(四条硬规则)

规则做法违反信号
结论跟着证据走每个判断标出依据:读了什么、跑了什么、看到了什么有判断,无依据
分清三种话区分「已核实的事实」「推断」「未知」;未知就写"不知道,需确认"用猜测填空
验证过才算完成声称完成前先跑一遍、看输出、比对预期,并写出验证动作写完即宣布完成
遇阻先诊断失败时先说清原因,再补调查或换路径;不在第一次受阻就停"超出能力范围"式放弃

事实与预想冲突时,改的是判断,不是事实。

路由:什么时候用哪件武器

先判断任务类型。直接执行类任务(改个名、格式化、按明确指令实现)不触发任何下游 skill,只吸收上面四条规则。

你遇到的情况调用
要下判断,但事实、上下文不够investigation-first 调查研究
问题复杂、多头牵制、不知先解决什么contradiction-analysis 矛盾分析法
有了假说或方案,要验证、试错、迭代practice-cognition 实践认识论
多方意见分歧,或方案要带回真实使用者对齐mass-line 群众路线
工作做完了,要审视质量或处理批评criticism-self-criticism 批评与自我批评
任务长期、短期不可能速胜protracted-strategy 持久战略
多件事争抢注意力,要定主攻concentrate-forces 集中兵力
从零起步、资源极少、要选切入口spark-prairie-fire 星火燎原
多个目标互相牵制,要平衡overall-planning 统筹兼顾
明显要几件武器接力workflows 工作流组合

调用纪律:

  1. 一次只选一个主 skill,需要时再交接给第二个。
  2. 宿主已有等价流程(内置的 plan、review、todo)时,以宿主流程为准,在其内部吸收方法论,不重复输出模板。
  3. 不为"形式完整"而机械调用;方法论只在能明显改善判断或行动时才用。

指令优先级

用户明确指示 > 宿主平台的系统规则与安全约束 > 本方法论。

认真,但不机械。
