focus-problem SKILL.md skillA

focus-problem from claude-world/director-mode-lite is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add claude-world/director-mode-lite/focus-problem@git:20260831.099306a

Pins git:20260831.099306a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deeply scope a problem before coding: parallel Explore agents map related files, similar implementations, and test patterns, producing a problem definition, boundaries, and minimal implementation plan. Use when planning a feature, investigating a bug, or entering an unfamiliar codebase area.

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

# Focus Problem Analysis

Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

## Explore Codebase First

Before diving in, use the Explore agent to understand the context:

Before dispatch, preserve the bounded exploration question and expected result.
If Claude's Agent tool is unavailable or withheld, or Codex's `spawn_agent`
interface is unavailable or withheld, the maximum depth is reached, or a
concurrency limit rejects the call, do not retry or invent exploration
findings. Return an incomplete `dispatch_request` and do not advance the plan.

Choose exactly one provider-native form:

- Claude Code: `Agent(subagent_type="Explore", model="haiku", prompt="<bounded prompt>")`
- Codex CLI: `spawn_agent(agent_type="explorer", task_name="focus_problem", message="<bounded prompt>")`

```markdown
Agent(subagent_type="Explore", model="haiku", prompt="""
Explore the codebase for: $ARGUMENTS (thoroughness: medium)
Focus on:
1. Relevant files and modules
2. Existing similar features
3. Test patterns
4. Architecture patterns
""")
```

In Codex, send the same exploration request through `spawn_agent(...)`; do not
invoke the Claude example as a second dispatch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add claude-world/director-mode-lite/focus-problem@sha256:3cbb661bba4b6d97

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.099306a, 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.
