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
Quick Dispatch
Match symptom to technique:

frontend-dev-guidelines
Frontend development guidelines for React/TypeScript applications. Modern patterns including Suspense, lazy loading, useSuspenseQuery, file organization with features directory, MUI v7 styling, TanStack Router, performance optimization, and TypeScript best practices. Use when creating components, pages, features, fetching data, styling, routing, or working with frontend code.
15code-review
Use when receiving code review feedback (especially if unclear or technically questionable), when completing tasks or major features requiring review before proceeding, or before making any completion/success claims. Covers three practices - receiving feedback with technical rigor over performative agreement, requesting reviews via code-reviewer subagent, and verification gates requiring evidence before any status claims. Essential for subagent-driven development, pull requests, and preventing false completion claims. | Sử dụng khi review code, đánh giá code, xem xét PR, pull request, cải thiện chất lượng code.
13planning
Use when you need to plan technical solutions that are scalable, secure, and maintainable. Create implementation plans, architecture designs, feature roadmaps. | Sử dụng khi cần lên kế hoạch, thiết kế kiến trúc, phân tích tính năng, đề xuất giải pháp, roadmap.
11better-auth
Implement authentication and authorization with Better Auth - a framework-agnostic TypeScript authentication framework. Features include email/password authentication with verification, OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, Discord, etc.), two-factor authentication (TOTP, SMS), passkeys/WebAuthn support, session management, role-based access control (RBAC), rate limiting, and database adapters. Use when adding authentication to applications, implementing OAuth flows, setting up 2FA/MFA, managing user sessions, configuring authorization rules, or building secure authentication systems for web applications. | Sử dụng khi xác thực, đăng nhập, login, auth, OAuth, session, bảo mật, phiên đăng nhập.
11databases
Work with MongoDB (document database, BSON documents, aggregation pipelines, Atlas cloud) and PostgreSQL (relational database, SQL queries, psql CLI, pgAdmin). Use when designing database schemas, writing queries and aggregations, optimizing indexes for performance, performing database migrations, configuring replication and sharding, implementing backup and restore strategies, managing database users and permissions, analyzing query performance, or administering production databases. | Sử dụng khi làm việc với cơ sở dữ liệu, database, SQL, query, truy vấn, schema, migration.
10docs-seeker
Search technical documentation using executable scripts to detect query type, fetch from llms.txt sources (context7.com), and analyze results. Use when user needs: (1) Topic-specific documentation (features/components/concepts), (2) Library/framework documentation, (3) GitHub repository analysis, (4) Documentation discovery with automated agent distribution strategy | Dùng khi tìm tài liệu, hướng dẫn, docs, documentation, api docs, tham khảo.
