When Stuck – Problem-Solving Dispatch
Overview
Different stuck-types need different techniques. This skill helps you quickly identify which problem-solving skill to use.
Core principle: Match stuck-symptom to technique.
Quick Dispatch
digraph stuck_dispatch {
rankdir=TB;
node [shape=box, style=rounded];

innovation [label="Can't find fitting approach?\nConventional solutions inadequate?\nNeed breakthrough?"];

Stuck-Type â Technique
| How You’re Stuck | Use This Skill |
|---|---|
| Complexity spiraling – Same thing 5+ ways, growing special cases | skills/problem-solving/simplification-cascades |
| Need innovation – Conventional solutions inadequate, can’t find fitting approach | skills/problem-solving/collision-zone-thinking |
| Recurring patterns – Same issue different places, reinventing wheels | skills/problem-solving/meta-pattern-recognition |
| Forced by assumptions – “Must be done this way”, can’t question premise | skills/problem-solving/inversion-exercise |
| Scale uncertainty – Will it work in production? Edge cases unclear? | skills/problem-solving/scale-game |
| Code broken – Wrong behavior, test failing, unexpected output | skills/debugging/systematic-debugging |
| Multiple independent problems – Can parallelize investigation | skills/collaboration/dispatching-parallel-agents |
| Root cause unknown – Symptom clear, cause hidden | skills/debugging/root-cause-tracing |
Process
- Identify stuck-type – What symptom matches above?
- Load that skill – Read the specific technique
- Apply technique – Follow its process
- If still stuck – Try different technique or combine
Combining Techniques
Some problems need multiple techniques:
- Simplification + Meta-pattern: Find pattern, then simplify all instances
- Collision + Inversion: Force metaphor, then invert its assumptions
- Scale + Simplification: Extremes reveal what to eliminate
Remember
- Match symptom to technique
- One technique at a time
- Combine if first doesn’t work
- Document what you tried
