This Skill provides a structured approach to solving complex problems by guiding users through Polya's four-phase method: Understand, Plan, Execute, and Review, with explicit checkpoints before each transition.
Instruct the assistant to apply Polya's method to a problem and proceed through all four phases with checkpoints before any execution.

Polya's method is a structured problem-solving framework divided into four phases: Understand, Plan, Execute, and Review. It enforces disciplined analysis and iterative refinement by requiring explicit user confirmation at each checkpoint before advancing to the next phase.
To apply Polya's method, instruct the assistant to process your task through the four phases sequentially. The workflow requires you to validate your understanding, approve a plan, confirm execution steps, and review the final outcome at each explicit checkpoint.
Yes, checkpointed problem solving supports educational workflows by guiding students through critical thinking and systematic analysis. The explicit phase boundaries prompt user validation, ensuring alignment and reinforcing cognitive tooling during coaching or teaching sessions.
Yes, this structured problem-solving approach operates independently without requiring external dependencies or specific components. It functions purely as a cognitive tool that uses conversational checkpoints to enforce iterative refinement and disciplined analysis.
You should avoid using this four-phase problem-solving framework for simple tasks that do not require disciplined analysis or iterative refinement. The explicit checkpoints and structured phases add overhead that is unnecessary for straightforward execution workflows.
