追本之箭——纵向深钻思维工具。给一个观点、现象或问题，像箭一样一路向下钻到不可再分的本质。Use when user says '想透', '追本', '本质是什么', '为什么会这样', '深挖', '钻到底', 'think deep', 'drill down', or wants to trace any idea/phenomenon vertically to its irreducible root. Also trigger when user provides a statement and wants depth analysis, not breadth survey.
The ljg-think skill is a vertical deep-analysis thinking tool designed to trace ideas, phenomena, opinions, and questions down to their irreducible foundations. Instead of exploring multiple related topics horizontally, it focuses on a single line of inquiry and repeatedly asks why something exists, behaves, or emerges the way it does. The skill treats every concept as a tunnel leading toward deeper mechanisms, underlying principles, and eventually core axioms or paradoxes. Its purpose is to help users move beyond surface-level explanations and uncover the most fundamental structures beneath social, psychological, biological, physical, mathematical, or logical systems.
The skill operates through a strict layered drilling methodology. Each analytical layer isolates one deeper explanatory framework and transitions into a more fundamental level of reasoning. The process emphasizes vertical descent rather than broad exploration, avoiding excessive background context or unrelated references. Each stage is intentionally concise, sharply framed, and designed to create a sense of intellectual freefall as the analysis moves closer to foundational truths. The output structure includes named layers, transitions driven by unresolved tensions or contradictions, and a final stopping point where further questioning collapses into human nature, physical law, logic itself, or existential paradox. The generated result is written in org-mode format and saved as a timestamped note file.
This skill is suited for philosophers, researchers, strategists, writers, deep thinkers, and anyone seeking root-cause understanding rather than summary explanations. It can be used to analyze social trends, emotional behaviors, political systems, technological change, business dynamics, cultural phenomena, or abstract philosophical questions. Typical triggers include requests to "think deep," "drill down," "find the essence," or "trace something to its root cause."
It is designed for deep root-cause analysis of ideas, behaviors, systems, phenomena, or statements where the goal is to uncover the most fundamental underlying principles rather than collect broad perspectives.
The skill focuses exclusively on vertical depth. Instead of generating multiple possibilities or perspectives, it repeatedly drills downward through progressively more fundamental explanatory layers.
The skill generates an org-mode document, saves it to a timestamped file path, and reports the file location back to the user.
The provided configuration and examples primarily describe Chinese-language triggering phrases, but the skill also explicitly supports English triggers such as "think deep" and "drill down."
The analysis stops when further questioning can no longer meaningfully deepen the explanation and reaches foundational categories such as human nature, physical laws, logic itself, or existential paradoxes.
