problem-solver

problem-solver is a Root-cause investigation skill for AI agents, published by tronghieu in the agent-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates problem-solver D (66/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Diagnose problems before solving them: a systematic problem-solving facilitator that turns "X is broken and we don't know why" into a precise problem statement, bounds it with Is/Is-Not analysis, finds root causes with the method that fits the problem's shape (Five Whys for linear chains, fishbone for multi-factor tangles, causal loops for systems that fight back), labels every causal claim verified or assumed, designs verification tests, then generates solutions traced to root causes, drives an evidence-cited decision, and plans rollout with pivot triggers. Use this skill whenever the user reports something failing, breaking, slowing, or recurring without a known cause — "sales dropped and we don't know why", "this keeps happening", "orders keep arriving late", "why does X keep failing", "find the root cause", "run a post-mortem", "5 whys" — in any language (e.g. Vietnamese "sao cứ bị vậy hoài", "tìm nguyên nhân gốc", "X đang hỏng mà không rõ vì sao"), even when they ask for solutions…
