SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often plan perfect solutions to the wrong problem because the observation and the assumed cause get treated as one fact. This Skill separates what is actually observed from what is assumed before any planning begins, preventing wasted effort on misframed tasks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Framing Separation: Captures the reported observation, the user's stated cause, and the proposed direction as three distinct items so assumptions stay visible. - Hypothesis Investigation: Builds a dimension map of where the problem could originate, then dispatches parallel read-only sub-agents to test each hypothesis against real code and documents with file:line evidence. - Frame Brief Output: Produces a structured brief in context/changes/<change-id>/frame.md with a hypothesis evidence table, confidence rating, and a reframed or confirmed problem statement ready to hand off to /10x-plan. - Use Case: A user says "the dashboard is broken, let's rewrite the query." The skill investigates whether the issue is the query, the data pipeline, or the classification logic, and may reframe the problem before any plan is written. ## Quick Start Run /10x-frame with a description of the bug or scope question you are about to plan, and answer its clarifying questions before planning begins.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a problem statement before planning a fix?

Invoke /10x-frame with your observation and proposed fix. It separates the observation from your assumed cause, maps alternative problem dimensions, investigates each with sub-agents, and outputs a Frame Brief confirming or reframing the problem.

What is the difference between /10x-frame and /10x-plan?

/10x-frame determines what the right problem to solve is, while /10x-plan determines how to build the solution. Frame runs before plan, and its Frame Brief output serves as a valid input argument to /10x-plan.

When should I skip the framing step?

Skip it for purely mechanical changes like renaming a function or bumping a dependency, or when you have already verified the framing yourself. The skill costs only 2-3 clarifying questions when the framing turns out to be solid.

Does /10x-frame modify code or write implementation plans?

No. It is strictly read-only for investigation and never proposes implementation approaches, phases, or file changes. Its only artifact is the Frame Brief containing a reframed or confirmed problem statement.

What happens if the investigation confirms my original framing?

The skill explicitly reports that the initial framing was correct and stops. Confirming a framing counts as a successful outcome; it does not manufacture a reframing when the evidence does not support one.
