What problem does it solve? When a task hits a wall — an API limitation, a rejected request, a failed approach, or a problem that seems impossible — this Skill prevents premature dead-end reports by systematically classifying the roadblock and running targeted lateral-thinking techniques until viable angles emerge or the wall is proven genuinely immovable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wall Classification: Decompiles "impossible" into six wall types (assumption, framing, gatekeeper, tool/tech, resource, physics/math) so the right technique is applied to the right problem. - 10-Technique Inventory: Runs structured methods including assumption autopsy, inversion, first principles, altitude shift, analogical transfer, constraint toggling, SCAMPER, and gatekeeper interrogation, with a mandatory minimum of 10 distinct angles before any evaluation. - Agent Fast Path: Agents invoke it mid-task before reporting a dead end, ensuring every "can't be done" arrives with tried-angles receipts. - Archive & Learning: Logs every wall and outcome to a local archive directory, building a pattern library of which techniques crack which wall types. - Use Case: An API lacks a bulk-export endpoint. The skill classifies it as a tool wall, runs SCAMPER and altitude shift, and surfaces angles like scheduled per-record crawling or browser automation of the UI export button. ## Quick Start Tell the agent "I'm stuck — the vendor API has no bulk export and I need my data out monthly" and let it classify the wall and generate solution angles.
