SKILL: Human Problem Solving Theory
Core Insight
Intelligence = examining the right 50 nodes out of 10^100, not searching faster through millions. This skill provides L3 decision frameworks for when and how to apply selective search principles to agent systems.
DECISION POINTS
Agent Performance Diagnosis
IF agent examines >1000 nodes for problems with <10^6 states
├── THEN selectivity problem
├── Fix: Extract structural information for heuristics
└── NOT: Add more compute power
IF same problem solved easily with different representation
├── THEN problem space construction issue
├── Fix: Test alternative state representations
└── NOT: Optimize search within current representation
