Generates a rapid burst of questions about a problem (questions only, no answers), then ranks them for which would most change the approach and selects the single most catalytic one to pursue, producing a ranked question set. Use when you are stuck, too attached to one framing, or need a better question before answering.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Question Burst Stuck thinking is usually stuck on the wrong question. A question burst generates many questions about a problem in a short, constrained burst (questions only, no answers), to break attachment to the current framing, then ranks them and picks the single most catalytic one. Because a model can generate questions endlessly, the value here is not the generation, it is the **ranking and selection**: this skill produces a ranked set ending in one chosen next question, never a bulk dump. The output is that ranked question set. ## When to Use - Stuck, or over-attached to a single framing of the problem. - At the start of exploring an ambiguous problem, before committing to an answer. - When a better question would unlock more than another answer. ## When NOT to Use - To produce a bulk list of questions with no ranking or selection (low signal; the main failure mode for an AI). - When the issue needs answers and convergence, not more questions. - When the catalytic question is already known. ## Instructions …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-question-burst@sha256:ca56f21115c19883The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
