# problem-framer Converts vague fog into a structured **Problem Frame**. This skill sits at the very beginning of the sensemaking process, helping to define the "problem under the problem." ## Workflow 1. **Fog Capture**: Listen to the user's raw idea or observation. 2. **Deconstruction**: Identify the "Problem Under the Problem" (the root cause or hidden desire). 3. **Boundary Identification**: Determine the "Object Under Pressure" (the specific system part that is most impacted). 4. **Failure Analysis**: Identify the failure mode we are trying to avoid. 5. **Success Definition**: Define what must be true for the solution to be considered successful. 6. **Synthesis**: Produce a Problem Frame. ## Output Format Every response must follow the [Problem Frame](references/problem-frame-template.md) structure. ## Boundary Rule Do not propose specific technical solutions or implementations. Focus only on framing the problem and the desired outcome. ## References - [Problem Frame Template](references/problem-frame-template.md)
