About
thinking-partner is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by mattnowdev. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-12 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-12.
A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies 150+ mental models across 17 disciplines to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly. Features include orientation detection that diagnoses 6 thinking states with targeted interventions, a structured 6-step workflow from diagnosis to synthesis, 7 complementary cognitive operation pairs, and explicit anti-patterns to avoid common reasoning failures. Works as a sparring session, not a lecture, asks one question at a time, names the model being applied, and challenges where it matters.
What it asks for
- Installs as a plugin bundle
None of the marketplaces we read publishes its tools or the settings it asks for.
What it declares, asks for and runs, in full
Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Connect
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Is this your plugin?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and can put its remote endpoint on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
