# 🧠 Claude Metacognitive Skill: Frosty

This repository contains a specialized prompt or set of instructions designed to enhance Claude's metacognitive abilities, allowing it to better **plan, monitor, and evaluate** its own reasoning processes for improved output quality and reliability.

## ✨ What Does This Skill Do?

* **[Briefly explain the primary benefit, e.g.,]** It forces Claude to use a three-step internal process (Deconstruct, Solve, Reflect) before providing the final answer.
* **[Explain the outcome, e.g.,]** Reduces hallucination rates by requiring internal error checking.
* **[Mention a specific use case, e.g.,]** Ideal for complex analysis, coding tasks, or multi-step problem-solving.
