Failure Diagnosis

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users identify the root cause when their efforts to achieve a goal are not yielding the desired results, preventing wasted time and effort by intervening at the correct layer of the optimization stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Layered Diagnosis: Systematically checks the Target, Algorithm, and Friction layers to pinpoint the failure.
• Friction Audit Trigger: Recommends running the friction-audit skill when friction is identified as the primary issue.
• Algorithm & Target Review: Guides users on when and how to review their chosen algorithms and defined targets.
• Use Case: A user is consistently failing to stick to their new workout routine. This skill will help them determine if the problem is a lack of motivation (friction), an ineffective workout plan (algorithm), or if their fitness goals are unrealistic (target).

Quick Start

Use the failure diagnosis skill to understand why your habit of daily meditation is not being maintained.
