democraitus/elons-brain

This repository packages the thinking style from "The Book of Elon" by Eric Jorgenson as a set of Claude Code skills. When you install it, you can ask any decision question about founding a company, engineering tradeoffs, hiring, product strategy, scheduling, or risk, and get an answer shaped by 72 named mental models attributed to Elon Musk, backed by citations to actual book passages. The repo ships two products from a single source. The first is "the brain": one large Claude Code skill that loads the full book text plus all 72 mental models at once, answers questions in a blunt and physics-first voice, and combines multiple relevant models when a question touches several areas. The second is "the pack": 72 individual Claude Code skills, one per mental model, so you can load just the lens you want for a specific task like a code review or a hiring decision. Each of the 72 mental models is a directory containing a skill file with a book quote, an explanation of what the model captures, when to apply it, step-by-step instructions with citations, common failure modes, and when not to use it. Trigger-test prompts with assertions validate that each skill fires correctly. Installation is a single copy command: unzip the release artifact and copy the elon folder into your Claude Code skills directory. The full book text ships inside the package for the AI to reference. Build scripts let you rebuild either artifact from the source skill files. This is for founders, product leaders, and engineers who want Elon Musk's decision-making frameworks available as a named, citable skill inside their AI coding or reasoning workflow.
