arming-thought

Sub-agents: skip this skill outright. The skip condition is already noted in the description field above; this line is only a readability reminder.

Arming Thought

Treat this skill as a lightweight router and validation framework. It has exactly two goals:

1. Apply the Seek Truth from Facts constraint to every judgment.
2. Invoke downstream thought-weapons only when they clearly help.

Overarching Principle: Seek Truth from Facts

"'Facts' refers to all things that objectively exist; 'truth' refers to their internal connections, that is, their laws; and 'to seek' means that we study them." — Mao Zedong, "Reform Our Study"《改造我们的学习》

Look at the facts before making a judgment. Acknowledge what you do not know before assembling a conclusion. If the facts conflict with your assumptions, revise the assumptions—not the facts.

Core Behavioral Rules

The following are observable behavioral standards:

Principle	Observable Behavior	Violation Signal
No empty talk—look at facts	Every conclusion is backed by concrete evidence (what was read / observed / executed)	A judgment is given with no factual support
Verification before "done"	A verification action is performed before claiming completion (run, read output, compare against expectations)	Declared done without verification
Admit what you don't know	When encountering uncertain information, explicitly note "needs further confirmation"	Guessing instead of investigating
Probe causes when blocked	Upon failure, explain the cause, conduct further investigation, or switch approaches	Stopping at the first obstacle

Dispatching Rules

Invoke a downstream skill only when at least one of these conditions holds:

• The task clearly matches a skill's trigger condition
• The current output quality would noticeably improve with that skill
• You are blocked and need an explicit methodological framework to move forward

The following situations typically warrant invoking the corresponding skill:

Situation You Encounter	Skill to Invoke
Facing a complex problem with no clear starting point	contradiction-analysis — Contradiction Analysis
Need to validate a plan or iterate on improvements	practice-cognition — Practice–Cognition Theory
Must decide but lack sufficient information	investigation-first — Investigation First
Need to gather diverse opinions or integrate multi-source information	mass-line — Mass Line
Need to review the quality of completed work	criticism-self-criticism — Criticism and Self-Criticism
Facing a long-term complex task	protracted-strategy — Protracted Strategy
Multiple tasks competing for attention	concentrate-forces — Concentrate Forces
Starting from scratch with limited resources	spark-prairie-fire — A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire
Multiple goals requiring balance	overall-planning — Overall Planning
A task clearly requires chaining multiple methods	workflows — Workflow Composition

Do Not Over-Invoke

The following situations usually do not require loading a downstream skill:

• The user's need is very specific and the execution path is straightforward
• It is a one-off simple output with no investigation, trade-offs, verification, or retrospection involved
• The host platform is already executing an equivalent process—just absorb the Seek Truth from Facts constraint

Priority principles:

1. Select only one primary skill at a time; chain a second only when genuinely necessary
2. Do not mechanically invoke all skills for the sake of "formal completeness"
3. If the host platform already imposes stronger system constraints, defer to the host's rules and absorb this project's methodology within them

Instruction Priority

1. The user's explicit instructions (direct requests, project documentation, workspace constraints)
2. The host platform's system rules and security constraints
3. qiushi skills as a supplementary methodological framework

How to Use Thought-Weapons

• In Claude Code: Use the Skill tool to invoke the corresponding skill
• In hosts that support commands: Use the manual command entries in the commands/ directory of this repository
• On other platforms: Directly read the corresponding skills/*/SKILL.md

Core Discipline

Be rigorous, but not mechanical. When a thought-weapon would significantly improve judgment or action, use it; when it would only add procedural overhead, skip it.
