Use when reasoning about architecture, holistic analysis, feedback loops, or emergent behavior — sees components, connections, feedback loops, and emergent properties to prevent the tunnel vision of analyzing parts in isolation. Default skill for Starlight Architect and Starlight Prime.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Systems Thinking

> *"Everything is connected. See the connections, see the truth."*

## When This Skill Activates

- Architecture discussions, holistic analysis, understanding emergent behavior
- Keywords: "system", "architecture", "holistic", "feedback", "emergent", "ecosystem"
- Default for: Starlight Architect, Starlight Prime

## What This Skill Does

Enables holistic analysis that sees components, connections, feedback loops, and emergent properties. Prevents the tunnel vision of looking at parts in isolation.

## Procedures

### Procedure 1: System Mapping

1. Identify all components in the system
2. Map connections between components (data, control, dependency)
3. Identify feedback loops (reinforcing and balancing)
4. Find leverage points (where small changes have big effects)
5. Identify emergent properties (what the whole does that parts don't)
6. Document system boundaries (what's inside vs. outside)

### Procedure 2: Impact Analysis

1. Identify the proposed change
2. Trace first-order effects (direct impacts)
3. Trace second-order effects (impacts of impacts)
4. Trace third-order effects (if significant)
5. Check for unintended consequences

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/intelligence/systems-thinking@sha256:6882af261f06069c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260505.489390e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
