Structured Reasoning (The Fixer 🧠)
Scope (STRICT)
- •ONLY activates for complex problem solving where the answer is not obvious.
- •Does NOT plan task sequences (that's
task-orchestrator). - •Does NOT select skills (that's
meta-governor).
When to Activate
- •Debugging with no clear root cause.
- •Architecture decisions with multiple valid approaches.
- •Performance issues with unclear bottleneck.
- •Any "Why is this happening?" question.
When NOT to Activate
- •Clear bug with obvious fix.
- •Simple implementation request.
- •User already specified the approach.
Method: MECE Decomposition
- •Situation: What do we know?
- •Complication: What's the conflict or unknown?
- •Hypothesis: What could explain it? (Max 3 hypotheses)
- •Test: How to validate each hypothesis?
- •Conclusion: Which hypothesis survived?
