What problem does it solve?
Guides AI agents to convert ambiguous tasks into precise problems, gather evidence, and apply a disciplined, state-driven process before acting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured state-machine workflow (Intake, Recon, Hypothesis Ranking, Plan, Execution Unlock, Look Back) that gates action and requires diagnostic artifacts.
- Enforces creation of problem-frame.md and evidence-log.md to ensure traceability and justification before execution.
- Effective for complex, uncertain tasks requiring careful framing, evidence collection, and bounded, verifiable actions.
Quick Start
Describe a vague task, then create a problem-frame.md and evidence-log.md to begin the recon phase.
