  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by MichaelRochonnn on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Left Right Brain Connectivity AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/left-right-brain-connectivity
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting.git /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/left-right-brain-connectivity .claude/skills/left-right-brain-connectivity
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Left Right Brain Connectivity in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Left Right Brain Connectivity on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Left Right Brain Connectivity is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Left and Right Brain Connectivity

When to Use This Skill

Apply this skill when:

  • Aiming for 'Super First-Class' consulting performance or breakthrough innovation
  • Current approaches rely too heavily on pure logic and analysis
  • Team composition lacks cognitive diversity
  • You need to combine rigorous analysis with creative synthesis
  • Traditional consulting frameworks feel insufficient for complex challenges

Prerequisites

  • Recognition of individual cognitive biases
  • Access to diverse talent pools
  • Awareness of your own cognitive tendencies (left-brain vs right-brain dominant)

Core Concepts

Left Brain Capability

  • Logical analysis
  • Engineering rigor
  • Structured thinking
  • Data-driven decision making

Right Brain Capability

  • Creativity and imagination
  • Intuition and pattern recognition
  • Sensitivity and emotional intelligence
  • Hypothesis generation and synthesis

Execution Procedure

1. Assess Current Cognitive Balance

Recognize that typical top consultants often suffer from 'Left Brain Hypertrophy'—an over-reliance on logic, engineering backgrounds, and structured analysis. Evaluate whether you or your team leans too heavily on one hemisphere.

2. Identify the Ohmae Standard

The ideal consultant (like Kenichi Ohmae) possesses:

  • PhD-level engineering background (Left Brain strength)
  • Exceptional Right Brain creativity and intuition

Use this standard to evaluate individual capabilities and identify gaps.

3. Implement Neural Connectivity

Actively connect left and right neuron synapses to enable:

  • Logical analysis to inform creative intuition
  • Creative hypotheses to guide analytical focus
  • Continuous interaction between structured thinking and imaginative synthesis

4. Team Composition Strategy

If an individual cannot achieve this balance, construct a team that:

  • Includes 'Left Brain' types: logical, rigorous, analytical
  • Includes 'Right Brain' types: creative, intuitive, sensitive
  • Maintains equilibrium through deliberate cognitive diversity

5. Apply Balanced Thinking

Use each hemisphere appropriately:

  • Left Brain: Rigorous analysis, data validation, structured problem-solving
  • Right Brain: Creative synthesis, hypothesis generation, intuitive leaps, stakeholder empathy

Expected Outcome

Enhanced consulting ability combining rigorous logic with creative innovation, enabling 'Super First-Class' performance that exceeds traditional consulting approaches.

Common Constraints

  • Most traditional consultants (e.g., at McKinsey) tend to be 'Left Brain' types
  • Relying solely on one hemisphere limits effectiveness
  • Achieving individual balance takes time and practice
  • Team-based balance requires intentional composition and facilitation

Frequently asked questions

What does the Left Right Brain Connectivity AI skill do?

Balance logical analysis (Left Brain) with creative intuition (Right Brain) to achieve superior consulting performance and innovation. Use when aiming for 'Super First-Class' consulting results, when team composition needs optimization, or when traditional analytical approaches feel insufficient for complex problems.

Why use Left Right Brain Connectivity on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Left Right Brain Connectivity is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Left Right Brain Connectivity in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/left-right-brain-connectivity. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Left Right Brain Connectivity?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Left Right Brain Connectivity?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Left Right Brain Connectivity with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Left Right Brain Connectivity AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by MichaelRochonnn. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
