# When Stuck - Problem-Solving Dispatch ## Overview Different stuck-types need different techniques. This skill helps you quickly identify which problem-solving skill to use. **Core principle:** Match stuck-symptom to technique. ## Quick Dispatch ```dot digraph stuck_dispatch { rankdir=TB; node [shape=box, style=rounded]; stuck [label="You're Stuck", shape=ellipse, style=filled, fillcolor=lightblue]; complexity [label="Same thing implemented 5+ ways?\nGrowing special cases?\nExcessive if/else?"]; innovation [label="Can't find fitting approach?\nConventional solutions inadequate?\nNeed breakthrough?"]; patterns [label="Same issue in different places?\nFeels familiar across domains?\nReinventing wheels?"]; assumptions [label="Solution feels forced?\n'This must be done this way'?\nStuck on assumptions?"]; scale [label="Will this work at production?\nEdge cases unclear?\nUnsure of limits?"]; bugs [label="Code behaving wrong?\nTest failing?\nUnexpected output?"]; stuck -> complexity; stuck -> innovation; stuck -> patterns; stuck -> assumptions; stuck -> scale; stuck -> bugs; complexity -> simp [label="yes"]; innovation -> collision [label="yes"]; patterns -> meta [label="yes"]; assumpti

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
