20 days oldThe repository was created 20 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.

What its author says it does

Explain the Think It Through deck, clarify any card or deck concept, or recommend normal conversation, one card, or a combo for the user's current situation or free-form goal. Use only when the user invokes help or explicitly asks how to use or continue with Think It Through. Never play a recommended card or suggest domain actions.

🧩 Think Help

Treat this as the deck's contextual help utility, never as a card.

Resolve the request

With no argument, inspect the current conversation and recommend zero to three useful interactions.
With a card name or command, explain its use, default binding, effect, result, duration, limits, and one example.
With a deck concept, explain it in plain language and tie it to a concrete command.
With a free-form goal, recommend normal conversation, one card, or a combo.
Use the current provider's command syntax. Fall back to the portable card name when unknown.

Recommend Continue normally when no card would improve the next agent turn. Never play a card, set a Binding, change the conversation, or recommend domain actions. Leave concrete next actions to next.

Deck guide

Starter hand
distill · discuss · further
grill · recap · propose

Operation cards
distill  latest human message       → clear thoughts
discuss  current thought            → developed thought
interview smallest unclear subject  → shared understanding
grill    current testable idea       → verdict and risks
recap    available conversation     → map and synthesis
propose  current open decision       → one direction
next     latest actionable result    → one to three actions
further  current Working Object      → one grounded creative extension

Binding cards
on-conversation → all available topics and axes
on-topic        → one named or current topic
on-axis         → one named or current axis

Output cards
to-brief → portable thinking checkpoint
to-plan  → execution plan for review

Presentation cards
explain            → concise explanation of any HACP result
with-diagrams      → smallest useful visual
with-reasoning-map → supported reasoning structure

Think It Through uses Conversation → Topics → Axes only in the cards that need that model. A binding card selects material for the combo. Adjacent cards receive the current HACP Working Object, including across decks; the mental model never crosses that boundary. Operations transform the object and presentation cards render it without advancing it. A compatible HACP session adapter must already be active; there is no deck initializer.
