SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The 10x-frame Skill helps in identifying and separating the actual problem from the proposed solution, preventing misdirected efforts in planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Observation vs. Stated Cause: Distinctly separates observation from assumed causes, aiding in accurate problem definition.
  • Frame Validation: Uses clarifying questions and a dimensional map to validate or refine the initial framing.
  • Reframing Recommendations: Offers restructured problem statements for more effective planning.
  • Use Case: When faced with a bug report, this skill can help identify whether the proposed fix is addressing the right problem, avoiding wasted effort on the wrong solution.

Quick Start

Run the /10x-frame skill on the issue report and follow the prompts to refine the problem framing.

Frequently Asked Questions about 10x-frame

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate problem framing before starting debugging or project scoping?▼

Validate problem framing by analyzing an issue report to separate raw observation from assumed cause and proposed solution. This prevents wasted effort on the wrong solution during debugging or project scoping.

How do I separate observation from stated cause when analyzing a bug report?▼

Separate observation from stated cause by running the skill on the issue report and following interactive prompts. It dispatches sub-agents to question assumptions and restructure the problem statement for more effective planning.

What is the best way to avoid solving the wrong problem during issue analysis?▼

Avoid solving the wrong problem by validating the initial frame through a multi-step process of clarifying questions. This approach challenges assumptions and offers restructured problem statements for accurate problem resolution.

When should I use problem framing validation for project scoping?▼

Use problem framing validation during project scoping when a bug report or issue includes a proposed fix. It helps identify whether the proposed solution actually addresses the right problem before committing development resources.

Does this problem resolution approach require any specific dependencies or environments?▼

No specific dependencies are required. The skill operates through user interaction and sub-agent dispatches, requiring only an issue report or problem statement to begin the multi-step framing validation process.
