Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-cognition-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-cognition-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-cognition-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "design-cognition-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "design-cognition-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "design-cognition-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add design-cognition-skill -- git clone https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill ~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: design-cognition-skill

Decide whether and how to ship a feature

👤 Product managers, founders ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You're weighing a feature and the team's split.

Voraussetzungen

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/S0ulFood/design-cognition-skill ~/.claude/skills/design-cognition-skill

Ablauf

Strategist

Use design-cognition-skill. Strategist role: should we build [feature]? What are the strategic tradeoffs?✓ Kopiert

→ Strategic framing — not just pros/cons, but tradeoffs against stated goals
Researcher

Researcher role: what's known from our data, users, competitors?✓ Kopiert

→ Evidence summary with gaps noted
Executor

Executor role: if we build it, what's the smallest valuable version?✓ Kopiert

→ Concrete MVP definition
Critic

Critic role: what's wrong with this plan? Be harsh.✓ Kopiert

→ Specific pushback, not generic risk flags

Ergebnis: A decision doc you can share that shows the thinking, not just the conclusion.

Fallstricke

Roles blur together — Run each role in its own prompt; don't ask for all four at once

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Get four kinds of feedback on a draft essay

👤 Writers ⏱ ~20 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: Your essay needs more than 'looks good' or copy-editing.

Ablauf

Run each role on the draft

Use design-cognition-skill on my essay. Strategist (is the point worth making?), Researcher (are claims defensible?), Executor (is the structure tight?), Critic (what would a hostile reader attack?).✓ Kopiert

→ Four distinct critiques

Ergebnis: Feedback a friend wouldn't give you but a good editor would.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

design-cognition-skill + filesystem

Save each role's output as a separate doc

Save outputs to decision/<topic>/<role>.md for each role.✓ Kopiert

design-cognition-skill + infinite-gratitude-skill

Pair with multi-agent research for breadth plus this for depth

Use infinite-gratitude for discovery, then design-cognition for the final decision doc.✓ Kopiert
