Converts a stuck trade-off into a contradiction to dissolve rather than a compromise to settle for. Names the two conflicting requirements, states an implementation-free Ideal Final Result, and applies the four separation principles (separate the requirements in time, space, scale, or condition) to satisfy both at once, then produces either a concrete resolution or an honest flag that the trade-off is genuine. Use when a decision has hardened into an either/or like speed versus quality…
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 --> # Contradiction Resolution (Ideal Final Result) Most problems arrive as a trade-off: to get more of A you must accept less of B (cheaper but flimsier, faster but riskier, generous but unprofitable). The reflex is to optimize - find the least-bad point on the curve. Contradiction resolution refuses that reflex first. It reframes the problem as a **contradiction to be dissolved** - a solution in which you stop trading A against B at all - and only settles for the compromise once a disciplined attempt to dissolve the trade-off has actually failed. The reframe is the durable move; it is the de-branded core of TRIZ (Genrich Altshuller, from 1946). The output is a **contradiction-resolution worksheet**, not a discussion. ## When to Use - A problem is stated as, or has quietly collapsed into, an "A vs B" trade-off, and nobody has tested whether the trade-off is actually necessary. - The obvious answer is "pick a point on the curve," and a genuine win-win would be worth far more than the best compromise. …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-contradiction-resolution@sha256:ca568b379a9e49f5The 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.
