SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Complex challenges often get treated at the symptom level, leading to solutions that fail. This Skill walks you through a systematic facilitation process that diagnoses root causes before jumping to fixes, then produces a documented implementation and validation plan. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Diagnosis: Applies methods like Is/Is Not Analysis, Five Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and Force Field Analysis selected from a solving-methods catalog. - Solution Generation and Evaluation: Facilitates creative and systematic ideation (TRIZ, Lateral Thinking, Morphological Analysis), then scores options with decision matrices and cost-benefit analysis. - Documented Output: Writes a complete problem-solution report to a Markdown file using a fixed template, with checkpoint reviews after every section. - Use Case: A team lead facing recurring production incidents uses the workflow to move past surface fixes, identify the systemic root cause, and leave with an action plan, success metrics, and risk mitigation triggers. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to guide you through structured problem solving for a challenge you are facing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured problem solving session with this workflow?

Activate the skill and describe your challenge when prompted. The facilitator asks diagnostic questions, applies methods like Is/Is Not Analysis and Five Whys, then guides solution generation, evaluation, and implementation planning across nine steps.

What problem solving methods does the workflow support?

The solving-methods catalog covers diagnosis methods (Five Whys, Fishbone Diagram, Systems Thinking), synthesis and creative methods (TRIZ, Morphological Analysis, Lateral Thinking, Reverse Brainstorming), evaluation methods (Decision Matrix, Cost Benefit Analysis), and implementation methods like the PDCA Cycle.

What output does the problem solving workflow produce?

It writes a Markdown report to the configured output folder using the provided template. The report covers the refined problem statement, root cause analysis, force field analysis, generated and evaluated solutions, an implementation plan, success metrics, and lessons learned.

Can the workflow be customized for a team or project?

Yes. A customize.toml file supports team and user overrides for activation steps, persistent facts loaded as context, and an on-complete action. Overrides merge with defaults using structural rules for scalars, tables, and arrays.

When is this guided workflow not the right approach?

It is not suited for trivial issues with obvious fixes or emergencies needing immediate action. The multi-step diagnosis and checkpoint review process is designed for complex, ambiguous problems where investing time in root cause analysis pays off.
