problem-to-solution

problem-to-solution is a skill for Codex from PANGKAIFENG/ai-product-manager-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (663 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning an unclear product problem into an agreed solution that is ready for requirements planning. It may use research, comparisons, idea generation, and review depending on what is missing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify goals and constraints, investigate important gaps, compare or challenge solution ideas, and decide whether a solution is confirmed.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish the actual problem from possible solutions and identifies the one unresolved issue that blocks progress. It stops before producing a full requirements document or development task list.

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-to-solution 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

问题到方案

这是 workflow 的 Codex Runtime 入口,不是新的原子 Skill。先读取同目录 WORKFLOW.md,再按当前状态调用现有 Skill 或 Loop。

输入

优先从对话和项目材料中发现以下信息,只询问会改变路线的缺口:

  • 当前问题或模糊感受;
  • 期望结果与判断标准;
  • 用户、业务场景、约束和截止时间;
  • 已有事实、候选方案和不可改变项。

工作流

  1. 先判断输入状态:问题、目标或判断标准不稳定时使用 ai-collaboration-calibration;已经稳定时跳过校准。
  2. 只有当事实缺口会改变选择时才进入研究:开放式领域理解使用 research-topic-compiler,具体选择缺证据时使用 $decision-loop。
  3. 问题已稳定但没有候选方案时,直接使用 brainstorming 比较真实方案并形成推荐与 Design Spec。
  4. 已有候选方案且只需挑战时,直接进入 $solution-loop;其他情况只在方案风险、依赖或失败模式需要多轮关闭时进入。
  5. 按 WORKFLOW.md 的 Confirmed Solution Gate 判断结束、Human Gate 或阻塞,不用文档数量代替方案确认。

边界

  • 不为了走流程而调用全部 Skill。
  • 不把研究结论直接伪装成产品方案。
  • 不让 Maker 自己声明挑战已经关闭。
  • 不生成完整 PRD、UI 交付包、研发事项或外部发布结果。
  • Skill/Loop handoff 不授权 DingTalk、Yunxiao、Runtime 或 Skillshare 写入。

输出

返回 status、稳定的问题定义、关键决策、已确认方案、保留项、剩余 gap、下一责任节点和恢复点。只有达到 solution_confirmed 才建议进入 $solution-to-delivery。

完成定义

只有 WORKFLOW.md 的 Confirmed Solution Gate 全部成立,且需要业务取舍时已经经过 Human Gate,才输出 solution_confirmed。否则必须返回唯一 next_gap 和可恢复的 resume_point。

资源与验证

  • WORKFLOW.md 是阶段路由、完成门槛和输出状态的权威合同,每次执行前读取。
  • evals/evals.json 覆盖完整路径、最短路径、相邻原子 Skill 和下游 Workflow 的触发回归;修改入口后运行这些评测并保留结果。
Files

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.
