model-first-reasoning

SKILL.md

A rigorous methodology that REQUIRES constructing an explicit problem MODEL before any reasoning or implementation. The model becomes a frozen contract that governs all downstream work.

Based on Kumar & Rana (2025), "Model-First Reasoning LLM Agents: Reducing Hallucinations through Explicit Problem Modeling" (arXiv:2512.14474)

Hallucination is not merely the generation of false statements—it is a symptom of reasoning performed without a clearly defined model of the problem space.

Apply Model-First Reasoning (MFR) to code generation tasks. Use when the user requests "model-first", "MFR", "formal modeling before coding", "model then implement", or when tasks involve complex logic, state machines, constraint systems, or any implementation requiring formal correctness guarantees. Enforces strict separation between modeling and implementation phases. Source: petekp/claude-code-setup.
