Dispatch to the right problem-solving technique based on how you're stuck
/plugin marketplace add rafaelcalleja/claude-market-place/plugin install claudekit-skills@claude-market-placeThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
Different stuck-types need different techniques. This skill helps you quickly identify which problem-solving skill to use.
Core principle: Match stuck-symptom to technique.

| How You're Stuck | Use This Skill |
|---|---|
| Complexity spiraling - Same thing 5+ ways, growing special cases | skills/problem-solving/simplification-cascades |
| Need innovation - Conventional solutions inadequate, can't find fitting approach | skills/problem-solving/collision-zone-thinking |
| Recurring patterns - Same issue different places, reinventing wheels | skills/problem-solving/meta-pattern-recognition |
| Forced by assumptions - "Must be done this way", can't question premise | skills/problem-solving/inversion-exercise |
| Scale uncertainty - Will it work in production? Edge cases unclear? | skills/problem-solving/scale-game |
| Code broken - Wrong behavior, test failing, unexpected output | skills/debugging/systematic-debugging |
| Multiple independent problems - Can parallelize investigation | skills/collaboration/dispatching-parallel-agents |
| Root cause unknown - Symptom clear, cause hidden | skills/debugging/root-cause-tracing |
Some problems need multiple techniques:
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
