investigation-modes

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a disciplined, mode-based framework for solving problems by guiding users through three explicit modes: LEARNING, INVESTIGATION, and SOLVING. It enforces controlled transitions and user confirmation to maintain focus and prevent scope creep.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mode discipline: One mode active at a time with explicit transitions.
• Structured outputs: Clear schema for learning artifacts, investigation findings, and solutions.
• Use Case: When debugging a complex system, start in LEARNING to map the system, then switch to INVESTIGATION to diagnose, and finally move to SOLVING to implement fixes, always with user approval.

Quick Start

• Start in LEARNING: "What is the system? What are the components?"
• Move to INVESTIGATION: "Why is this happening? What evidence supports this?"
• Transition to SOLVING: "Provide a concrete fix plan and steps."
