What problem does it solve? When facing a new product or business problem, teams often apply the wrong approach—using best practices on complex challenges or over-analyzing simple ones. This Skill classifies the problem's domain so you select methods that actually fit the situation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Domain Classification: Uses diagnostic questions to categorize problems as Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, or Confused. - Method Routing: Recommends appropriate methods per domain, from checklists and expert analysis to safe-to-fail experiments. - Liminal Zone Detection: Identifies transitional states between domains and warns about the Clear-to-Chaotic catastrophic fold caused by complacency. - Use Case: A product team debating whether to A/B test a feature or just ship it can classify the problem first—if it's Complicated, expert analysis suffices; if Complex, run small experiments instead. ## Quick Start Use the cynefin skill to classify my current product problem and recommend which methods I should apply.
