problem-mapping

problem-mapping is a skill for Claude Code from bacchus-labs/wrangler. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,924 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to define a design or product problem before looking for solutions. It maps goals, users, stakeholders, constraints, assumptions, and pain points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of a design sprint or product discussion to frame the problem, identify affected people, and set success criteria.
Why use it?
It creates a shared understanding of what needs solving and prevents teams from jumping to solutions too early.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

problem-mapping scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Problem Mapping

Problem Mapping helps teams understand and frame design challenges before jumping to solutions. Based on the "Understand" phase from Google Design Sprint methodology, this skill structures messy problem spaces into clear goals, assumptions, and pain points.

What This Skill Does

  • Facilitates structured problem exploration through guided questioning
  • Captures goals, users, constraints, and assumptions systematically
  • Documents pain points and challenges
  • Creates shared understanding document as sprint foundation
  • Does NOT generate solutions or make decisions (that comes later)
  • Does NOT interpret findings (humans decide significance)

Workflow Decision Tree

Start here: "I'd like to start a problem mapping session"

Claude will ask: "How are you running this session?"

  1. Solo → Individual exploration with Claude
  2. Team Sync → Team together, Claude facilitates discussion
  3. Team Async → Team provides input separately, Claude synthesizes

Each mode follows the same 6-step questioning framework but adapts the interaction style.

Solo Mode

Use when working through problems independently - initial exploration, personal projects, or prep work.

How It Works

  1. Claude asks structured questions about the problem
  2. Think out loud and answer thoughtfully (don't rush)
  3. Claude structures responses into problem map
  4. Review and refine together

Question Framework

  1. Problem Statement - What are we trying to solve?
  2. Users/Stakeholders - Who's involved? Who's affected?
  3. Goals - What does success look like?
  4. Constraints - What's limiting us? (time, resources, technology)
  5. Assumptions - What are we taking for granted?
  6. Pain Points - What are the key challenges or frustrations?

Your Role

  • Think out loud, don't self-censor
  • Challenge own assumptions
  • Ask Claude to dig deeper if stuck
  • Don't rush - this is thinking time

Team Sync Mode

Use when team is together (in-person or video call) - kickoff meetings, workshops, retreat sessions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
