Reasoning Skill

Structured reasoning frameworks with mandatory documentation lookup for systematic problem solving.

Overview

This skill wraps two complementary capabilities:

1. Complex Reasoning (complex-reasoning.md) — Multiple reasoning frameworks (Chain-of-Thought, Tree-of-Thought, Hypothesis-Driven Debugging, Root Cause Analysis) that always query documentation before reasoning and store insights in memory.

2. Documentation Lookup (documentation-lookup.md) — Systematic documentation retrieval using Context7 MCP to ground all decisions in accurate, version-specific library documentation.

When to Use

• Debugging complex issues where root cause is unclear → use Hypothesis-Driven Debugging
• Making architectural decisions with multiple valid approaches → use Tree-of-Thought
• Linear problem-solving with sequential steps → use Chain-of-Thought
• Systemic incidents or repeated failures → use Root Cause Analysis
• Any task involving external libraries or APIs → use Documentation Lookup first
