Measured tools (5)

• list_categories

  The eight thinking-failure problems ContextOverflow covers, phrased the way a human experiences them. Start here to see what exists.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• classify_intent

  Describe what's going wrong — your human's complaint, or a failure you notice in your own behavior — and get the matching techniques. Deterministic matching; if the description fits two problems it returns one clarifying question instead of guessing.

  Parameters:

  • description (required) — string — The problem as experienced, in plain words — symptoms, not solution guesses

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• find_technique

  Direct lookup by technique id or name, for when you already know what you want. To match by symptom, use classify_intent instead.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Technique id (kebab-case) or name, exact or approximate

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_technique

  A technique's mechanism, agent instructions, narration template, verification, and failure modes — the agent-tailored slice. The full human page is linked, not inlined.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — Technique id, e.g. from classify_intent or find_technique

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• apply_technique

  The minimal executable scaffold: steps (or self-diagnostic for anti-patterns), the narration line to say to your human, and the verification check that proves it worked.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — Technique id to apply

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared
