This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 25, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Ten composable reasoning operators, each with a detailed procedural body rather than vibes. Ran negspace on a 'strategic realignment' memo versus a plain no-skill read: the baseline reached the obvious 'this means layoffs,' but negspace additionally surfaced distinct, class-tagged shadows the baseline missed - an optionality omission (no teams or timelines named, to keep maneuverability) and an unstated shareholder-primacy bedrock. The 'works every time' reliability claims are aspirational, but the sub-skill files are genuinely structured. Note the repo's own install.sh registers the ten operators as separate skills and slash-commands; the verified command below installs the whole collection under one slug, keeping the operator files reachable from the root index.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 4/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Future Tokens - Reasoning Instruments does

A collection of ten named, composable reasoning operators - negspace, excavate, antithesize, dimensionalize, synthesize, and more - each targeting a specific blind spot in an AI-generated draft. Use it after producing an analysis, plan, or recommendation to surface missing arguments, hidden assumptions, the strongest counter-case, or dimensions you are not scoring on. Each operator ships a detailed procedural definition with worked examples and chains into the others.

How to install Future Tokens - Reasoning Instruments

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger Future Tokens - Reasoning Instruments

  • /future-tokens Ten composable reasoning operators to surface an AI output's blind spots

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Run negspace on this strategy memo to find what's missing
  • What blind spots am I not seeing in this recommendation?
  • Antithesize this plan and give me the strongest counter-case
