Use when the user asks to solve a hard problem, break through stuck points, eliminate spiraling complexity, or find elegant solutions beyond conventional approaches.
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
# Problem-Solving Techniques A structured toolkit of high-leverage cognitive and architectural techniques to break through stuck points, eliminate spiraling complexity, and discover elegant solutions. ## Core Philosophy > **"One powerful abstraction > ten clever hacks"** > Rather than managing complexity through brute force, these techniques help you uncover the fundamental principles that make complexity unnecessary. --- ## Symptom Matcher & Dispatch Table When encountering a difficult technical problem or blocker, match your symptom to the appropriate technique: | Symptom / How You're Stuck | Recommended Technique | Target Reference | |---|---|---| | **Unsure which method to apply** | Stuck-Type Diagnostic Dispatch | `references/when-stuck-dispatch.md` | | **Complexity spiraling / Same logic 5+ ways** | Simplification Cascades | `references/simplification-cascades.md` | | **Conventional solutions inadequate / Need innovation** | Collision-Zone Thinking | `references/collision-zone-thinking.md` | | **Rigid assumptions / "Only one way" mindset** | Inversion Exercise | `references/inversion-exercise.md` | …

How to install
mdr add tamnguyendinh/anvien/problem-solving@sha256:ee586ad3f229aadcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.8d14417, 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.
