What problem does it solve?
When you face a business, content, or decision problem, it is hard to know which theories actually explain it and whether history offers a proven solution. This Skill answers your question directly, then grounds it in verified theories and structurally similar historical cases so you get a conditional, evidence-backed answer instead of generic advice.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Theory Discovery and Verification: Maps your problem to relevant fields, authors, and theories, audits propositions for overgeneralization or causal leaps, and verifies sources and original meanings.
- Historical Isomorphism Analysis: Converts your problem into a structural fingerprint, then studies successful, failed, and counterexample cases across business, technology, and management history.
- Conditional Standard Answers: Delivers conclusions graded as mature consensus, conditional answer, or no unified answer, each with applicability conditions and failure boundaries.
- Use Case: You have a theory about why customers churn and want to turn it into short videos. The Skill audits the theory, maps it to real audience problems, drafts video scripts, and checks whether history shows the same mechanism repeatedly working.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to use dbs-standard-answer to analyze your question or theory, dig out the relevant fields, authors, and credible theories, then study historically similar successes and failures to produce a conditional standard answer.
