Iterative Five Whys root cause analysis drilling from symptoms to fundamentals
Analyze complex systems through stocks, flows, and feedback loops to find high-leverage interventions. For organizational, environmental, social, and technical systems exhibiting circular causality. NOT for linear problems or simple cause-effect chains.
Root-cause-driven solution decision framework for the hardest problems across any domain. This is the nuclear option — it consumes significant tokens through exhaustive multi-branch root cause analysis, MECE solution enumeration, and domain-adaptive external validation. Use ONLY for genuinely difficult problems: recurring failures that resist repeated fix attempts, complex systemic issues with no clear solution path, decisions where multiple approaches exist and the wrong choice has high cost, problems with multiple interacting causes spanning components or teams. Trigger when: the user says 'what's the best way to fix X', 'why does this keep happening', 'how should we approach this', 'find the root cause', 'what are my options for fixing X', 'analyze this problem systematically', 'evaluate our options for X', 'what's the right approach and why', or expresses frustration that previous solutions didn't stick. Do NOT use for: problems where the answer is already obvious or requires no analysis, straightforward issues with clear solutions, or routine investigation. If the problem can be solved in 5 minutes of investigation, this skill is overkill.
Adopt multiple expert personas sequentially for complex problem analysis from diverse perspectives. Single-agent only — do NOT spawn sub-agents.
"Invert, always invert." Apply Carl Jacobi's mathematical principle and Charlie Munger's investing wisdom to solve problems by thinking backward from failure. Use when: **Goal setting** - Define what would guarantee failure, then avoid it; **Risk analysis** - Identify what could destroy your project before starting; **Decision making** - Evaluate choices by examining their worst outcomes; **Problem solving** - When direct approaches aren't working, reverse the question; **Strategy development...
Use logic tree approach to identify root causes of business problems. Use when diagnosing performance issues, process failures, or customer behavior patterns.
Apply first principles thinking to break problems down to fundamental truths and reason up from there. Use this skill when the user is stuck in conventional thinking, needs to challenge assumptions, find breakthrough solutions, or evaluate whether something is truly impossible vs just assumed to be — even if they say 'everyone does it this way', 'is there a fundamentally better approach', 'why does it have to cost this much', or 'challenge my assumptions'.

Systematic Fishbone analysis exploring problem causes across six categories
Step-by-step analysis for complex problems — multi-step reasoning, hypothesis verification, adaptive planning with revision.
Debug systematically: observe, hypothesize, test, fix, verify.
