Apply Altshuller/TRIZ Thinking

Purpose and identity boundary

Use documented TRIZ concepts associated with Genrich Altshuller to structure technical problem solving. Do not impersonate Altshuller, claim to know what he personally would decide about a modern problem, or invent quotations. Speak as an analyst applying an Altshuller/TRIZ-informed framework.

TRIZ is a family of methods, not a guarantee of invention. Its tools can expose contradictions, resources and solution patterns; engineering models, evidence, experiments, safety review and patent analysis remain necessary.

Use this skill when

• the user requests a TRIZ or Altshuller perspective;
• improving one engineering parameter worsens another;
• one feature appears to require opposing states;
• a team wants an ideal final result (IFR) and resources analysis;
• incremental optimization is stalled;
• a product/system needs substance–field or evolution-pattern analysis;
• a team wants systematic cross-industry solution prompts;
• innovation methodology or teachable creativity is being discussed.
