What it does

Five Minds is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Answer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Five Minds loads about 929 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~929

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.

name: five-minds
description: Answer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.

Five Minds

A single answer is a single angle. This runs the question through five deliberately different minds — each fully committed to its own worldview, none aware of the others — so you get a real spread instead of one blended, cautious view. Then a sixth pass reads them against each other and keeps what holds. It's structured disagreement, on purpose.

What This Skill Produces

Five distinct takes — each from a different frame (e.g. the optimist, the skeptic, the pragmatist, the outsider, the long-term thinker), each committed rather than hedged
The clashes — where the minds directly contradict each other, made explicit (that's the signal)
What each sees that the others miss — the unique contribution of each angle
A synthesis — the final view that keeps the strongest points and resolves (or holds) the tensions

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

The question — the decision, problem, or topic
Any angles you want included — specific perspectives that matter here
Your context — enough to make the takes concrete
What you'll do with it — a decision, understanding, or ideas

Framework: Diverge Hard, Then Converge

Pick five genuinely different frames. Choose lenses that will actually disagree — not five shades of the same view. Match some to the specific question.
Commit each fully. Each mind argues its worldview without hedging or nodding to the others — a committed take reveals more than a balanced mush.
Keep them independent. Don't let one take soften the next; the value is in the unblended range.
Surface the tensions. Where the minds clash is exactly where the real decision lives — name those points.
Then synthesize. A final pass weighs them and keeps what's strongest, saying plainly where genuine tension remains rather than papering over it.

Output Format

Question: [the topic]

🟢 [Frame 1]: [committed take]. 🔴 [Frame 2]: [committed take]. 🔵 [Frame 3]: [committed take]. 🟠 [Frame 4]: [committed take]. 🟣 [Frame 5]: [committed take].

Where they clash: [the real tensions]. Synthesis: [what survives + where tension genuinely remains].

Quality Checks

The five frames genuinely differ (they disagree, not just vary in tone)
Each take is committed, not hedged into agreement
The clashes between them are made explicit
The synthesis keeps the strongest points and is honest about remaining tension
At least one frame fits the specific question, not just generic personas

Anti-Patterns

Five versions of the same view with different labels.
Hedged takes that all quietly agree.
Skipping the clashes — the most useful part.
A synthesis that mushes everything into bland consensus.

Example Trigger Phrases

"Give me five different perspectives on whether I should take this job."
"Look at this business idea from every angle."
"What would different kinds of people think about this plan?"
"I want a range of views on this, not one safe answer."
"Run this decision through several clashing viewpoints."
