What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users uncover hidden assumptions, risks, and root causes by asking targeted, one-at-a-time questions, preventing flawed decision-making and ensuring thorough problem analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Assumption Surfacing: Identifies underlying beliefs that must be true for a plan or decision to work.
• Root Cause Analysis: Utilizes frameworks like "5 Whys" to drill down to the fundamental drivers of an issue.
• Risk Identification: Probes potential failure points, edge cases, and their impacts.
• Use Case: When a team is debating a new feature's architecture, this Skill can be used to systematically question the assumptions behind the design choices, ensuring scalability, security, and feasibility are fully considered before implementation.

Quick Start
