# Problem-Solving Skills - Attribution
|
|
|
|
These skills were derived from agent patterns in the [Amplifier](https://github.com/microsoft/amplifier) project.

## Skills Derived from Amplifier Agents
|
|
|
|
**From insight-synthesizer agent:**
|
|
- simplification-cascades - Finding insights that eliminate multiple components
|
|
- collision-zone-thinking - Forcing unrelated concepts together for breakthroughs
|
|
- meta-pattern-recognition - Spotting patterns across 3+ domains
|
|
- inversion-exercise - Flipping assumptions to reveal alternatives
|
|
- scale-game - Testing at extremes to expose fundamental truths
|
|
|
|
**From ambiguity-guardian agent:**
|
|
- (architecture) preserving-productive-tensions - Preserving multiple valid approaches
|
|
|
|
**From knowledge-archaeologist agent:**
|
|
- (research) tracing-knowledge-lineages - Understanding how ideas evolved
|
|
|
|
**Dispatch pattern:**
|
|
- when-stuck - Maps stuck-symptoms to appropriate technique
|
|
|
|
## What Was Adapted
|
|
|
|
The amplifier agents are specialized long-lived agents with structured JSON output. These skills extract the core problem-solving techniques and adapt them as:
|
|
|
|
- Scannable quick-reference guides (~60 lines each)
|
|
- Symptom-based discovery via when_to_use
|
|
- Immediate application without special tooling
|
|
- Composable through dispatch pattern
|
|
|
|
## Core Insight
|
|
|
|
Agent capabilities are domain-agnostic patterns. Whether packaged as "amplifier agent" or "superpowers skill", the underlying technique is the same. We extracted the techniques and made them portable.
