What problem does it solve?
Clarifies vague decisions, surfaces root causes, and sharpens goals by iteratively asking and answering "why" to reveal hidden assumptions and actionable directions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Iterative Root-Cause Drilling: Run a configurable N-layer "why" chain (default 7, clamped 3–20) where each layer answers the previous layer's why concisely.
- Pattern Analysis and Reframing: Detect convergence, breakpoints, circles, and depth to summarize what stands out and propose a reframed goal and next steps.
- Practical Scenarios: Use in post-mortems, product decision debates, PR triage, personal coaching, or when a goal feels unfocused and needs a clearer direction.
Quick Start
Ask the skill a question or prefix with a number to set layers, for example: /whywhy 5 Why is this feature underperforming?
