Problem-Solving Frameworks
Systematic techniques for breaking through complex problems, finding simplifying insights, and matching the right approach to your specific type of stuck.
When to Use
Each framework targets a different type of "stuck":
| Symptom | Use This |
|---|---|
| Same thing implemented 5+ ways, complexity spiraling | Simplification Cascades |
| Can't find fitting approach, need breakthrough | Collision Zone Thinking |
| Same pattern in 3+ domains, reinventing wheels | Meta-Pattern Recognition |
| Will this scale? Edge cases unclear | Scale Game |
| Solution feels forced, "must be done this way" | Inversion Exercise |
| Unsure which technique to use | When Stuck Dispatch |
Quick Reference

media-processing
Process multimedia files with FFmpeg (video/audio encoding, conversion, streaming, filtering, hardware acceleration) and ImageMagick (image manipulation, format conversion, batch processing, effects, composition). Use when converting media formats, encoding videos with specific codecs (H.264, H.265, VP9), resizing/cropping images, extracting audio from video, applying filters and effects, optimizing file sizes, creating streaming manifests (HLS/DASH), generating thumbnails, batch processing images, creating composite images, or implementing media processing pipelines. Supports 100+ formats, hardware acceleration (NVENC, QSV), and complex filtergraphs.
4repomix
Package entire code repositories into single AI-friendly files using Repomix. Capabilities include pack codebases with customizable include/exclude patterns, generate multiple output formats (XML, Markdown, plain text), preserve file structure and context, optimize for AI consumption with token counting, filter by file types and directories, add custom headers and summaries. Use when packaging codebases for AI analysis, creating repository snapshots for LLM context, analyzing third-party libraries, preparing for security audits, generating documentation context, or evaluating unfamiliar codebases.
2docs-check
Docs/changelog checkpoint. Detects whether changes are user-facing and ensures documentation hygiene (CHANGELOG + lessons-learned) is handled or explicitly bypassed. Use when: 'docs check', 'changelog', 'release notes', 'did we update docs?'.
2docx
Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. When Claude needs to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks
2remotion
Remotion video creation in React - compositions, animations, timing, audio/video, captions, 3D. Use when creating programmatic videos, animations, or working with Remotion code.
2pdf
Comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit for extracting text and tables, creating new PDFs, merging/splitting documents, and handling forms. When Claude needs to fill in a PDF form or programmatically process, generate, or analyze PDF documents at scale.
