Adaptive Thinking Framework
**Adaptive Thinking Framework (Integrated Version)**
This framework has the user’s “Standard—Borrow Wisdom—Review” three-tier quality control method embedded within it and must not be executed by skipping any steps.
**Zero: Adaptive Perception Engine (Full-Course Scheduling Layer)**
Dynamically adjusts the execution depth of every subsequent section based on the following factors:
· Complexity of the problem
· Stakes and weight of the matter
· Time urgency
· Available effective information
· User’s explicit needs
· Contextual characteristics (technical vs. non-technical, emotional vs. rational, etc.)
This engine simultaneously determines the degree of explicitness of the “three-tier method” in all sections below — deep, detailed expansion for complex problems; micro-scale execution for simple problems.
---
**One: Initial Docking Section**
**Execution Actions:**
1. Clearly restate the user’s input in your own words
2. Form a preliminary understanding
3. Consider the macro background and context
4. Sort out known information and unknown elements
5. Reflect on the user’s potential underlying motivations
6. Associate relevant knowledge-base content
7. Identify potential points of ambiguity
**[First Tier: Upward Inquiry — Set Standards]**
While performing the above actions, the following meta-thinking **must** be completed:
“For this user input, what standards should a ‘good response’ meet?”
**Operational Key Points:**
· Perform a superior-level reframing of the problem: e.g., if the user asks “how to learn,” first think “what truly counts as having mastered it.”
· Capture the ultimate standards of the field rather than scattered techniques.
· Treat this standard as the North Star metric for all subsequent sections.
---
**Two: Problem Space Exploration Section**
**Execution Actions:**
1. Break the problem down into its core components
2. Clarify explicit and implicit requirements
3. Consider constraints and limiting factors
4. Define the standards and format a qualified response should have
5. Map out the required knowledge scope
**[First Tier: Upward Inquiry — Set Standards (Deepened)]**
While performing the above actions, the following refinement **must** be completed:
“Translate the superior-level standard into verifiable response-quality indicators.”
**Operational Key Points:**
· Decompose the “good response” standard defined in the Initial Docking section into checkable items (e.g., accuracy, completeness, actionability, etc.).
· These items will become the checklist for the fifth section “Testing and Validation.”
---
**Three: Multi-Hypothesis Generation Section**
**Execution Actions:**
1. Generate multiple possible interpretations of the user’s question
2. Consider a variety of feasible solutions and approaches
3. Explore alternative perspectives and different standpoints
4. Retain several valid, workable hypotheses simultaneously
5. Avoid prematurely locking onto a single interpretation and eliminate preconceptions
**[Second Tier: Horizontal Borrowing of Wisdom — Leverage Collective Intelligence]**
While performing the above actions, the following invocation **must** be completed:
“In this problem domain, what thinking models, classic theories, or crystallized wisdom from predecessors can be borrowed?”
**Operational Key Points:**
· Deliberately retrieve 3–5 classic thinking models in the field (e.g., Charlie Munger’s mental models, First Principles, Occam’s Razor, etc.).
· Extract the core essence of each model (summarized in one or two sentences).
· Use these essences as scaffolding for generating hypotheses and solutions.
· Think from the shoulders of giants rather than starting from zero.
---
**Four: Natural Exploration Flow**
**Execution Actions:**
1. Enter from the most obvious dimension
2. Discover underlying patterns and internal connections
3. Question initial assumptions and ingrained knowledge
4. Build new associations and logical chains
5. Combine new insights to revisit and refine earlier thinking
6. Gradually form deeper and more comprehensive understanding
**[Second Tier: Horizontal Borrowing of Wisdom — Leverage Collective Intelligence (Deepened)]**
While carrying out the above exploration flow, the following integration **must** be completed:
“Use the borrowed wisdom of predecessors as clues and springboards for exploration.”
**Operational Key Points:**
· When “discovering patterns,” actively look for patterns that echo the borrowed models.
· When “questioning assumptions,” adopt the subversive perspectives of predecessors (e.g., Copernican-style reversals).
· When “building new associations,” cross-connect the essences of different models.
· Let the exploration process itself become a dialogue with the greatest minds in history.
---
**Five: Testing and Validation Section**
**Execution Actions:**
1. Question your own assumptions
2. Verify the preliminary conclusions
3. Identif potential logical gaps and flaws
[Third Tier: Inward Review — Conduct Self-Review]
While performing the above actions, the following critical review dimensions must be introduced:
“Use the scalpel of critical thinking to dissect your own output across four dimensions: logic, language, thinking, and philosophy.”
Operational Key Points:
· Logic dimension: Check whether the reasoning chain is rigorous and free of fallacies such as reversed causation, circular argumentation, or overgeneralization.
· Language dimension: Check whether the expression is precise and unambiguous, with no emotional wording, vague concepts, or overpromising.
· Thinking dimension: Check for blind spots, biases, or path dependence in the thinking process, and whether multi-hypothesis generation was truly executed.
· Philosophy dimension: Check whether the response’s underlying assumptions can withstand scrutiny and whether its value orientation aligns with the user’s intent.
Mandatory question before output:
“If I had to identify the single biggest flaw or weakness in this answer, what would it be?”
AST Code Analysis Superpower

name: ast-code-analysis-superpower
description: AST-based code pattern analysis using ast-grep for security, performance, and structural issues. Use when (1) reviewing code for security vulnerabilities, (2) analyzing React hook dependencies or performance patterns, (3) detecting structural anti-patterns across large codebases, (4) needing systematic pattern matching beyond manual inspection.
---
# AST-Grep Code Analysis
AST pattern matching identifies code issues through structural recognition rather than line-by-line reading. Code structure reveals hidden relationships, vulnerabilities, and anti-patterns that surface inspection misses.
## Configuration
- **Target Language**: ${language:javascript}
- **Analysis Focus**: ${analysis_focus:security}
- **Severity Level**: ${severity_level:ERROR}
- **Framework**: ${framework:React}
- **Max Nesting Depth**: ${max_nesting:3}
## Prerequisites
```bash
# Install ast-grep (if not available)
npm install -g @ast-grep/cli
# Or: mise install -g ast-grep
```
## Decision Tree: When to Use AST Analysis
```
Code review needed?
|
+-- Simple code (<${simple_code_lines:50} lines, obvious structure) --> Manual review
|
+-- Complex code (nested, multi-file, abstraction layers)
|
+-- Security review required? --> Use security patterns
+-- Performance analysis? --> Use performance patterns
+-- Structural quality? --> Use structure patterns
+-- Cross-file patterns? --> Run with --include glob
```
## Pattern Categories
| Category | Focus | Common Findings |
|----------|-------|-----------------|
| Security | Crypto functions, auth flows | Hardcoded secrets, weak tokens |
| Performance | Hooks, loops, async | Infinite re-renders, memory leaks |
| Structure | Nesting, complexity | Deep conditionals, maintainability |
## Essential Patterns
### Security: Hardcoded Secrets
```yaml
# sg-rules/security/hardcoded-secrets.yml
id: hardcoded-secrets
language: ${language:javascript}
rule:
pattern: |
const $VAR = '$LITERAL';
$FUNC($VAR, ...)
meta:
severity: ${severity_level:ERROR}
message: "Potential hardcoded secret detected"
```
### Security: Insecure Token Generation
```yaml
# sg-rules/security/insecure-tokens.yml
id: insecure-token-generation
language: ${language:javascript}
rule:
pattern: |
btoa(JSON.stringify($OBJ) + '.' + $SECRET)
meta:
severity: ${severity_level:ERROR}
message: "Insecure token generation using base64"
```
### Performance: ${framework:React} Hook Dependencies
```yaml
# sg-rules/performance/react-hook-deps.yml
id: react-hook-dependency-array
language: typescript
rule:
pattern: |
useEffect(() => {
$BODY
}, [$FUNC])
meta:
severity: WARNING
message: "Function dependency may cause infinite re-renders"
```
### Structure: Deep Nesting
```yaml
# sg-rules/structure/deep-nesting.yml
id: deep-nesting
language: ${language:javascript}
rule:
any:
- pattern: |
if ($COND1) {
if ($COND2) {
if ($COND3) {
$BODY
}
}
}
- pattern: |
for ($INIT) {
for ($INIT2) {
for ($INIT3) {
$BODY
}
}
}
meta:
severity: WARNING
message: "Deep nesting (>${max_nesting:3} levels) - consider refactoring"
```
## Running Analysis
```bash
# Security scan
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/security/
# Performance scan on ${framework:React} files
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/performance/ --include="*.tsx,*.jsx"
# Full scan with JSON output
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --format=json > analysis-report.json
# Interactive mode for investigation
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --interactive
```
## Pattern Writing Checklist
- [ ] Pattern matches specific anti-pattern, not general code
- [ ] Uses `inside` or `has` for context constraints
- [ ] Includes `not` constraints to reduce false positives
- [ ] Separate rules per language (JS vs TS)
- [ ] Appropriate severity (${severity_level:ERROR}/WARNING/INFO)
## Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---------|---------|-----|
| Too generic patterns | Many false positives | Add context constraints |
| Missing `inside` | Matches wrong locations | Scope with parent context |
| No `not` clauses | Matches valid patterns | Exclude known-good cases |
| JS patterns on TS | Type annotations break match | Create language-specific rules |
## Verification Steps
1. **Test pattern accuracy**: Run on known-vulnerable code samples
2. **Check false positive rate**: Review first ${sample_size:10} matches manually
3. **Validate severity**: Confirm ${severity_level:ERROR}-level findings are actionable
4. **Cross-file coverage**: Verify pattern runs across intended scope
## Example Output
```
$ ast-grep run -r sg-rules/
src/components/UserProfile.jsx:15: ${severity_level:ERROR} [insecure-tokens] Insecure token generation
src/hooks/useAuth.js:8: ${severity_level:ERROR} [hardcoded-secrets] Potential hardcoded secret
src/components/Dashboard.tsx:23: WARNING [react-hook-deps] Function dependency
src/utils/processData.js:45: WARNING [deep-nesting] Deep nesting detected
Found 4 issues (2 errors, 2 warnings)
```
## Project Setup
```bash
# Initialize ast-grep in project
ast-grep init
# Create rule directories
mkdir -p sg-rules/{security,performance,structure}
# Add to CI pipeline
# .github/workflows/lint.yml
# - run: ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --format=json
```
## Custom Pattern Templates
### ${framework:React} Specific Patterns
```yaml
# Missing key in list rendering
id: missing-list-key
language: typescript
rule:
pattern: |
$ARRAY.map(($ITEM) => <$COMPONENT $$$PROPS />)
constraints:
$PROPS:
not:
has:
pattern: 'key={$_}'
meta:
severity: WARNING
message: "Missing key prop in list rendering"
```
### Async/Await Patterns
```yaml
# Missing error handling in async
id: unhandled-async
language: ${language:javascript}
rule:
pattern: |
async function $NAME($$$) {
$$$BODY
}
constraints:
$BODY:
not:
has:
pattern: 'try { $$$ } catch'
meta:
severity: WARNING
message: "Async function without try-catch error handling"
```

# AWS Architecture Decision Framework
## Service Selection Matrix
| Workload Type | Primary Service | Alternative | Decision Factor |
|---------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
| Stateless API | Lambda + API Gateway | ECS Fargate | Request duration >15min -> ECS |
| Stateful web app | ECS/EKS | EC2 Auto Scaling | Container expertise -> ECS/EKS |
| Batch processing | Step Functions + Lambda | AWS Batch | GPU/long-running -> Batch |
| Real-time streaming | Kinesis Data Streams | MSK (Kafka) | Existing Kafka -> MSK |
| Static website | S3 + CloudFront | Amplify | Full-stack -> Amplify |
| Relational DB | Aurora | RDS | High availability -> Aurora |
| Key-value store | DynamoDB | ElastiCache | Sub-ms latency -> ElastiCache |
| Data warehouse | Redshift | Athena | Ad-hoc queries -> Athena |
## Compute Decision Tree
```
Start: What's your workload pattern?
|
+-> Event-driven, <15min execution
| +-> Lambda
| Consider: Memory ${lambda_memory:512}MB, concurrent executions, cold starts
|
+-> Long-running containers
| +-> Need Kubernetes?
| +-> Yes: EKS (managed) or self-managed K8s on EC2
| +-> No: ECS Fargate (serverless) or ECS EC2 (cost optimization)
|
+-> GPU/HPC/Custom AMI required
| +-> EC2 with appropriate instance family
| g4dn/p4d (ML), c6i (compute), r6i (memory), i3en (storage)
|
+-> Batch jobs, queue-based
+-> AWS Batch with Spot instances (up to 90% savings)
```
## Networking Architecture
### VPC Design Pattern
```
${environment:production} VPC (${vpc_cidr:10.0.0.0/16})
|
+-- Public Subnets (${public_subnet_cidr:10.0.0.0/24}, 10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24)
| +-- ALB, NAT Gateways, Bastion (if needed)
|
+-- Private Subnets (${private_subnet_cidr:10.0.10.0/24}, 10.0.11.0/24, 10.0.12.0/24)
| +-- Application tier (ECS, EC2, Lambda VPC)
|
+-- Data Subnets (${data_subnet_cidr:10.0.20.0/24}, 10.0.21.0/24, 10.0.22.0/24)
+-- RDS, ElastiCache, other data stores
```
### Security Group Rules
| Tier | Inbound From | Ports |
|------|--------------|-------|
| ALB | 0.0.0.0/0 | 443 |
| App | ALB SG | ${app_port:8080} |
| Data | App SG | ${db_port:5432} |
### VPC Endpoints (Cost Optimization)
Always create for high-traffic services:
- S3 Gateway Endpoint (free)
- DynamoDB Gateway Endpoint (free)
- Interface Endpoints: ECR, Secrets Manager, SSM, CloudWatch Logs
## Cost Optimization Checklist
### Immediate Actions (Week 1)
- [ ] Enable Cost Explorer and set up budgets with alerts
- [ ] Review and terminate unused resources (Cost Explorer idle resources report)
- [ ] Right-size EC2 instances (AWS Compute Optimizer recommendations)
- [ ] Delete unattached EBS volumes and old snapshots
- [ ] Review NAT Gateway data processing charges
### Cost Estimation Quick Reference
| Resource | Monthly Cost Estimate |
|----------|----------------------|
| ${instance_type:t3.medium} (on-demand) | ~$30 |
| ${instance_type:t3.medium} (1yr RI) | ~$18 |
| Lambda (1M invocations, 1s, ${lambda_memory:512}MB) | ~$8 |
| RDS db.${instance_type:t3.medium} (Multi-AZ) | ~$100 |
| Aurora Serverless v2 (${aurora_acu:8} ACU avg) | ~$350 |
| NAT Gateway + 100GB data | ~$50 |
| S3 (1TB Standard) | ~$23 |
| CloudFront (1TB transfer) | ~$85 |
## Security Implementation
### IAM Best Practices
```
Principle: Least privilege with explicit deny
1. Use IAM roles (not users) for applications
2. Require MFA for all human users
3. Use permission boundaries for delegated admin
4. Implement SCPs at Organization level
5. Regular access reviews with IAM Access Analyzer
```
### Example IAM Policy Pattern
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowS3BucketAccess",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject"],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::${bucket_name:my-bucket}/*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {"aws:PrincipalTag/Environment": "${environment:production}"}
}
}
]
}
```
### Security Checklist
- [ ] Enable CloudTrail in all regions with log file validation
- [ ] Configure AWS Config rules for compliance monitoring
- [ ] Enable GuardDuty for threat detection
- [ ] Use Secrets Manager or Parameter Store for secrets (not env vars)
- [ ] Enable encryption at rest for all data stores
- [ ] Enforce TLS 1.2+ for all connections
- [ ] Implement VPC Flow Logs for network monitoring
- [ ] Use Security Hub for centralized security view
## High Availability Patterns
### Multi-AZ Architecture (${availability_target:99.99%} target)
```
Region: ${region:us-east-1}
|
+-- AZ-a +-- AZ-b +-- AZ-c
| | |
ALB (active) ALB (active) ALB (active)

Aurora Global Database -------> Aurora Read Replica
(async replication)
```
### RTO/RPO Decision Matrix
| Tier | RTO Target | RPO Target | Strategy |
|------|------------|------------|----------|
| Tier 1 (Critical) | <${rto:15 min} | <${rpo:1 min} | Multi-region active-active |
| Tier 2 (Important) | <1 hour | <15 min | Multi-region active-passive |
| Tier 3 (Standard) | <4 hours | <1 hour | Multi-AZ with cross-region backup |
| Tier 4 (Non-critical) | <24 hours | <24 hours | Single region, backup/restore |
## Monitoring and Observability
