SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill helps you quickly identify which problem-solving technique to apply based on how you're stuck, reducing wasted cycles and guiding you to the right approach.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Symptom-based routing: Map stuck symptoms to the appropriate technique (e.g., simplification cascades, collision-zone thinking, meta-pattern recognition).
  • Guided application: Load and apply the matched technique step-by-step.
  • Combining Techniques: Supports combining techniques for complex problems.

Quick Start

Describe your stuck situation to Claude (e.g., "I'm blocked by a recurring pattern and unsure which approach to take") and have it dispatch the appropriate technique.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify which problem-solving technique to use when I'm stuck?

Describe your stuck situation—whether it's complexity spiraling, recurring patterns, innovation gaps, assumption challenges, scale concerns, or debugging issues—and the dispatch will map your symptoms to the appropriate technique like simplification cascades, collision-zone thinking, or meta-pattern recognition.

What types of stuck situations does problem-solving dispatch handle?

Problem-solving dispatch routes six stuck-types: complexity spiraling, innovation gaps, recurring patterns, assumption challenges, scale concerns, and debugging issues. Each maps deterministically to a prescribed technique with concrete next steps.

Can I combine multiple problem-solving techniques for complex problems?

Yes, the dispatch supports combining techniques. After identifying your primary stuck-type and its matched technique, you can load and layer additional techniques step-by-step for problems spanning multiple categories.

How does symptom-based routing reduce wasted problem-solving cycles?

Instead of guessing which approach fits, symptom-based routing maps your specific stuck symptoms directly to the matching technique, eliminating trial-and-error and guiding you immediately to the right workflow.

What's the output of the problem-solving dispatch?

The dispatch returns a concrete plan: the identified stuck-type, the prescribed technique matched to it, and step-by-step guidance for applying that technique to your specific situation.
