Use First Principles Framework (FPF) to decompose problems, architect systems, evaluate alternatives, define quality, qualify and develop methods, initiate inquiry from ordinary work, disambiguate agent-relative instructions, steer or resume work, surface applicable methods, coordinate development states, bridge domain terms, screen mandatory steps, compare configurations, probe capability, decide under uncertainty, reconsider decisions after their basis changes, establish causality, reason…

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

# First Principles Framework (FPF)

## Attribution and license

This skill adapts *First Principles Framework (FPF)* by Anatoly Levenchuk,
[ailev/FPF](https://github.com/ailev/FPF), upstream commit
`23b1cae396652ef1c1d63160aed163a3041c3ea1`. The FPF specification text in
`sections/` is licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
Changes: the specification was split into section files and given generated navigation
indexes; this `SKILL.md` adds an agent-oriented router and usage instructions.
See the [upstream licensing scope](https://github.com/ailev/FPF/blob/main/LICENSING.md).
Skill packaging and the splitter are MIT licensed. This adaptation is not endorsed by
the FPF author.

An "Operating System for Thought" — a transdisciplinary architecture for reasoning,
written in human- and machine-readable pseudo-code. FPF turns raw intelligence (human or machine)
into organisationally usable reasoning: explicit bounded contexts, auditable artefacts, multi-view
descriptions, and disciplined hand-offs between specialised actors.

## Use cases

Use FPF whenever you need to think more rigorously than the situation's default.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/fpf-problem-solving@sha256:5435d1067b816d12

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.abac3b3, 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.
