There’s a groundbreaking open\-source project on GitHub that has skyrocketed to over 10,000 stars—**NUWA Skill**\. It’s doing something truly remarkable: distilling the thinking styles of humanity’s top minds into cognitive models that AI can leverage\. This isn’t about AI mimicking how someone speaks; it’s about extracting *how* they think\.
What NUWA Skill Offers
NUWA Skill encapsulates the cognitive frameworks of legendary thinkers and leaders:
- Charlie Munger’s interdisciplinary mental models
- Richard Feynman’s First Principles
- Elon Musk’s physics\-based extreme thinking
- Naval Ravikant’s anti\-overthinking philosophy
- And more, including Steve Jobs, Zhang Yiming, Zhang Xuefeng, etc\.—with 13 top minds’ cognitive frameworks built\-in\.
How It Works
The project uses a rigorous process to ensure the accuracy and usability of these cognitive models:
- **Multi\-source Parallel Collection**: It leverages 6 agents to simultaneously gather insights from over 40 first\-hand sources like writings, interviews, social media, and critical reviews\.
- **Triple Verification**: A viewpoint is adopted as a mental model only if it meets strict criteria—endorsed by at least 2 top minds, predictive, and unique \(not all smart people think this way\)\.
- **Skill Construction**: It builds 3–7 mental models per figure, with 5–10 decision\-making points to represent their “cognitive DNA”\.
- **Quality Assurance**: It tests against 3 publicly answered questions by the individual; only when consistent does it get approved\.
