Detects when you are stuck in a loop (explicitly, implicitly, or via self-observation) and provides structured exit ramps to pivot to a fresh approach. It also names the pattern and documents the exit protocol to restore productive momentum.
Describe the loop you're stuck in and ask me to break it.

To break a cognitive stuckness loop, you name the recurring pattern, list underlying assumptions, and select from 2–3 fundamentally different approaches offered as exit ramps to restore productive momentum.
Cognitive debugging identifies when you are going in circles or escalating effort inefficiently, names the implicit pattern causing the block, and provides structured exit ramps to pivot to a completely fresh approach.
Implicit stuckness signals include blaming the framework or escalating effort without results. Recognizing these patterns allows you to stop the current approach and list assumptions blocking your progress.
Yes, pattern recognition tools detect explicit triggers like "keep trying the same thing" and apply an exit ramp protocol that stops the loop, names the pattern, and offers fundamentally different approaches.
The best way to reframe a problem when going in circles is to stop, name what is happening, list your assumptions, and evaluate 2–3 fundamentally different approaches provided as structured exit ramps.
Exit ramps require you to explicitly halt your current approach and accept permission to stop. If you cannot pause to list assumptions or evaluate alternative approaches, the protocol cannot effectively break the loop.
