Mental Models
Apply structured thinking frameworks to decisions, problems, and planning.
Workflow
Step 1: Run Scanner
uv run beam-next-mental-models --format brief
Output shows slugs by category with path pattern:
# Path: 00-system/mental-models/models/{category}/{slug}.md
analytical: decision-matrix, swot-analysis, cost-benefit-analysis...
diagnostic: pre-mortem, five-whys, fishbone-diagram...
Step 2: Select & Load
Based on user's context, pick 1-2 models and load using the path pattern:
Read: 00-system/mental-models/models/diagnostic/pre-mortem.md
Step 3: Apply
Each model file contains purpose, questions, and process. Guide user through it.
Quick Reference
| Situation | Models | |-----------|--------| | Decisions | decision-matrix, inversion, cost-benefit-analysis | | Problems | first-principles, five-whys, fishbone-diagram | | Planning | pre-mortem, scenario-planning, stakeholder-mapping | | Risk | pre-mortem, inversion, margin-of-safety |
Rules
- Run scanner first - don't guess slugs
- Use path pattern -
models/{category}/{slug}.md - Let user pick - suggest, don't impose

beam-ai-team/numbers
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when communicating quantitative information in any form — Slack updates, emails, reports, decks, dashboards, landing pages, product UI, public talks. Covers two integrated layers: (1) making numbers semantically meaningful (translation, anchoring, simplification, story-pairing) and (2) showing numbers cleanly (chart vs table vs prose, chart-by-message, pre-attentive emphasis, color discipline, decluttering). Distilled and integrated from *Show Me the Numbers* (Stephen Few) and *Make Numbers Count* (Chip Heath & Karla Starr). Not for raw data analysis or statistics — this is about communication of numbers, not their derivation.

Use when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, clarify, distill, harden, optimize, adapt, animate, colorize, extract, or otherwise improve a frontend interface. Covers websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, app shells, components, forms, settings, onboarding, and empty states. Handles UX review, visual hierarchy, information architecture, cognitive load, accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, theming, anti-patterns, typography, fonts, spacing, layout, alignment, color, motion, micro-interactions, UX copy, error states, edge cases, i18n, and reusable design systems or tokens. Also use for bland designs that need to become bolder or more delightful, loud designs that should become quieter, live browser iteration on UI elements, or ambitious visual effects that should feel technically extraordinary. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.

Stateful multi-session tutor adapted for Beam — teach a stakeholder to understand, trust, and operate a specific agent, or teach a Solution Engineer a client's business process for delivery. Grounds every lesson in Knowledge Hub sources (real agent graphs, real tasks, transcripts, Linear) before any web resource. Also works for any general topic. Trigger on "teach me", "beam teach", "教我", "onboard <person> on <agent>", "help <stakeholder> understand the agent", "learn this client's process".
