(2026-03-05) Chartier Forethought A Claude Code Skill System That Helps You Move From Vague Intent To Concrete Action

Gabriel Chartier made - gchartier/forethought: A Claude Code skill system (claude skills) that helps you move from vague intent to concrete action. /explore asks the right questions, /resolve captures architectural decisions, /blueprint plans the implementation, /next executes it. Think first, build right.

A four-stage skill pipeline for Claude Code that turns vague ideas into implemented code — with structured thinking at every step.

Instead of jumping straight to building, Forethought walks you through defining the problem, making architectural decisions, planning the work, and then executing task by task. Each stage produces a durable artifact that the next stage consumes, so nothing gets lost between "I have an idea" and "it's built."

The four stages

/explore  →  /resolve  →  /blueprint  →  /next   
 (define)      (decide)    (plan)      (build)`

Installation

Option A: Install globally (recommended)

This makes the skills available in every project on your machine.
