One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Our team is struggling to migrate a legacy monolithic database to a microservice architecture without causing major platform downtime. Please guide me through a structured analysis of this issue: break down the obstacle into distinct perspectives, present several potential solution paths with trade-offs, and construct an ordered execution plan that highlights key dependencies and parallel tasks.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response decomposes the migration problem into functional, technical, temporal, resource, risk, stakeholder, precedent, and creative angles. | Missed | Passed |
| The response presents at least 3 distinct solution paths. | Passed | Passed |
| The execution plan explicitly identifies parallelizable tasks. | Passed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Transform obstacles into solvable steps. Structured thinking beats brute force.
State the challenge clearly. What's blocking you? What does success look like?
Decompose into 8 angles: functional, technical, temporal, resource, risk, stakeholder, precedent, creative.
Sequence tasks with dependencies. Identify parallelizable work. Flag critical path items.
Update status as you execute. Log blockers. Trigger re-analysis if assumptions break.
When stuck, inspect the directive. What changed? What was missed? Update and retry.
Define - Clarify the problem statement. State constraints and success criteria.
Analyze - Apply multiple lenses (technical, financial, temporal, creative, etc).
Generate options - Brainstorm 3+ solution paths. Don't filter yet.
Choose - Select the highest-leverage path. Justify the choice.
Execute - Run the action plan. Track assumptions in real-time.
