Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00031 | $0.00298 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00119 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
problem-solving 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.
What it actually says
Problem Solving
Activate this skill when facing complex problems, getting stuck, or needing structured approaches to novel challenges.
When to Use
- Complexity is spiraling out of control
- Stuck on a problem after multiple attempts
- Recurring patterns suggest a deeper issue
- Assumptions are constraining the solution space
- Scale or scope is uncertain
Techniques
Simplification Cascade
When complexity spirals: remove features until the core works, then add back one at a time.
Inversion Exercise
When assumptions constrain: ask "what if the opposite were true?" to find hidden solutions.
Meta-Pattern Recognition
When patterns recur: identify the underlying cause rather than fixing symptoms repeatedly.
Scale Game
When scale is uncertain: design for 10x current load, validate at 1x, plan for 100x.
Collision-Zone Thinking
When innovation is blocked: combine two unrelated concepts to find novel approaches.
Rules
- If stuck after 3 attempts, change the approach entirely
- Question every assumption explicitly
- Prefer reversible decisions over perfect ones
- Solve the simplest version of the problem first
- Document what was tried and why it failed
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 46 lines · 31 tokens per session scan A 1d3c9209e1e4
problem-solving is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihatesea69/kiro-kit (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 298 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
