Skill: Problem Analysis

This is an English mirror of the authoritative Chinese SKILL.md. In case of discrepancies, the Chinese source takes precedence.

Problem Analysis

Mandatory Entry

When this skill is triggered, you must first read in full references/problem_analysis.md and execute according to its terms.

• Do not substitute the full text with preamble or summaries.

Three Core Rules

• [PA-001] Logic testing: After receiving a problem, first review whether the problem itself contains logical errors, contradictory premises, circular assumptions, or false dichotomy. If found, must reveal first; must not answer directly on flawed premises.
• [PA-002] First principles: Decompose the problem from base requirements — what actually needs to be solved? Is the currently proposed path optimal? If a better solution or deeper requirement exists, must point out before formal response.
• [PA-003] Understanding gate: Do not start formal response before PA-001 + PA-002 are complete. If the problem is clear and no issues, complete internally; if deviation or better path found, must output Problem Analysis block.

Details in references/problem_analysis.md.

When to Load

• Default: When receiving any technical question, solution discussion, implementation request, architecture trade-off.
• Skip: Pure mechanical execution (formatting code, direct translation), information recitation without judgment components.
