Identify constraints, classify them by type and severity, assess removability, and design removal paths for removable constraints.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If a hard constraint is a true showstopper, flag immediately — do not wait for full tactic completion

    line 37

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Constraint Drilling

Systematically discover all constraints blocking a candidate, classify them into actionable categories, assess which can be removed, and design concrete removal paths for those that can.

Stages

  1. Constraint Identification — Use TOC current-reality-tree, TRIZ contradiction analysis, and Pre-mortem to surface all constraints. Deploy constraint-identification-sop SOP.
  2. Constraint Classification — Sort identified constraints into hard constraints (immovable), soft constraints (workable), and assumptions (unvalidated). Deploy constraint-classification SOP.
  3. Removability Assessment — For each non-trivial constraint, score how removable it is given available resources and context. Deploy removability-assessment SOP for each constraint (parallelizable).
  4. Removal Path Design — For constraints with removability > 0.3, design concrete steps to remove or mitigate them. Deploy removal-path SOP for each removable constraint.

Available SOPs

SOPStagePurpose
constraint-identification-sop1Discover constraints using structured methods
constraint-classification2Categorize constraints by type
removability-assessment3Score removability of each constraint
removal-path4Design removal steps and timeline

Execution Guidance

  • Stage 1 should apply all three methods (TOC, TRIZ, Pre-mortem) for completeness
  • Stage 2 requires Stage 1 output
  • Stage 3 can run assessments in parallel for each constraint
  • Stage 4 only runs for constraints with removability score > 0.3
  • If a hard constraint is a true showstopper, flag immediately — do not wait for full tactic completion

Minimum Yield

  • Classified constraint list with >= 3 constraints identified
  • Removability assessment for each non-trivial constraint
  • Removal paths for all constraints scoring removability > 0.3

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
