SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Complex challenges often get treated at the symptom level, leading to recurring issues and wasted effort. This Skill activates Dr. Quinn, a Master Problem Solver persona that applies systematic problem-solving methodologies to hunt down root causes instead of chasing surface symptoms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Methodologies: Applies TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, and Systems Thinking to structure problem analysis. - Persona-Driven Sessions: Adopts the Dr. Quinn identity with a customizable role, communication style, and principles loaded from a TOML configuration. - Menu-Based Dispatch: Presents a numbered menu of problem-solving actions and dispatches to the bmad-cis-problem-solving skill on selection. - Use Case: A team facing recurring production defects asks Dr. Quinn to crack the problem; the agent guides a structured root-cause investigation rather than accepting the first plausible explanation. ## Quick Start Ask Dr. Quinn to help crack a complex problem using systematic problem-solving methodologies.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I use Dr. Quinn for root cause analysis?▼

Invoke the skill and describe your challenge in plain language. Dr. Quinn greets you, presents a menu of problem-solving actions, and dispatches the bmad-cis-problem-solving skill to apply TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, or Systems Thinking to find root causes.

What problem-solving methodologies does this agent use?▼

The agent applies TRIZ, Theory of Constraints, and Systems Thinking. These frameworks focus on identifying structural root causes rather than treating surface symptoms of a problem.

Can I customize the Dr. Quinn agent persona?▼

Yes, the persona is customized through TOML files merged in base, team, and user order. You can override the role, identity, communication style, principles, persistent facts, and menu items without changing the agent's core name or title.

Does this skill work without the BMAD config file?▼

The activation flow expects a config file at _bmad/cis/config.yaml for user name and language settings. If the customization resolver script fails, the skill falls back to manually reading and merging the TOML files.

When should I use a problem-solving agent instead of direct analysis?▼

Use it when problems are recurring, cross-functional, or resistant to obvious fixes. The structured methodologies suit complex systemic challenges; simple one-off tasks with known solutions do not benefit from the persona overhead.
