Problem-Solving Techniques
Problem-Solving Techniques
Systematic approaches for different types of stuck-ness. Each technique targets specific problem patterns.
When to Use
Apply when encountering:
- Complexity spiraling - Multiple implementations, growing special cases, excessive branching
- Innovation blocks - Conventional solutions inadequate, need breakthrough thinking
- Recurring patterns - Same issue across domains, reinventing solutions
- Assumption constraints - Forced into "only way", can't question premise
- Scale uncertainty - Production readiness unclear, edge cases unknown
- General stuck-ness - Unsure which technique applies

39debugging
Systematic debugging framework ensuring root cause investigation before fixes. Includes four-phase debugging process, backward call stack tracing, multi-layer validation, and verification protocols. Use when encountering bugs, test failures, unexpected behavior, performance issues, or before claiming work complete. Prevents random fixes, masks over symptoms, and false completion claims.

20frontend-design
Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, or applications, OR when they provide screenshots/images/designs to replicate or draw inspiration from. For screenshot inputs, extracts design guidelines first using ai-multimodal analysis, then implements code following those guidelines. Generates creative, polished code that avoids generic AI aesthetics.
