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];

    stuck [label="You're Stuck", shape=ellipse, style=filled, fillcolor=lightblue];

    complexity [label="Same thing implemented 5+ ways?\nGrowing special cases?\nExcessive if/else?"];
    innovation [label="Can't find fitting approach?\nConventional solutions inadequate?\nNeed breakthrough?"];
    patterns [label="Same issue in different places?\nFeels familiar across domains?\nReinventing wheels?"];
    assumptions [label="Solution feels forced?\n'This must be done this way'?\nStuck on assumptions?"];
    scale [label="Will this work at production?\nEdge cases unclear?\nUnsure of limits?"];
    bugs [label="Code behaving wrong?\nTest failing?\nUnexpected output?"];

    stuck -> complexity;
    stuck -> innovation;
    stuck -> patterns;
    stuck -> assumptions;
    stuck -> scale;
    stuck -> bugs;

    complexity -> simp [label="yes"];
    innovation -> collision [label="yes"];
    patterns -> meta [label="yes"];
    assumptions -> invert [label="yes"];
    scale -> scale_skill [label="yes"];
    bugs -> debug [label="yes"];

    simp [label="skills/problem-solving/\nsimplification-cascades", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightgreen];
    collision [label="skills/problem-solving/\ncollision-zone-thinking", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightgreen];
    meta [label="skills/problem-solving/\nmeta-pattern-recognition", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightgreen];
    invert [label="skills/problem-solving/\ninversion-exercise", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightgreen];
    scale_skill [label="skills/problem-solving/\nscale-game", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightgreen];
    debug [label="skills/debugging/\nsystematic-debugging", shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fillcolor=lightyellow];
}

Scale uncertainty - Will it work in production? Edge cases unclear?skills/problem-solving/scale-game
Code broken - Wrong behavior, test failing, unexpected outputskills/debugging/systematic-debugging
Multiple independent problems - Can parallelize investigationskills/collaboration/dispatching-parallel-agents
Root cause unknown - Symptom clear, cause hiddenskills/debugging/root-cause-tracing

Process

  1. Identify stuck-type - What symptom matches above?
  2. Load that skill - Read the specific technique
  3. Apply technique - Follow its process
  4. 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
