think-from-another-angle
Get unstuck on a problem by deliberately re-framing it through a different lens — a child's, an outsider's, another industry's, the reverse, the extreme. Use when asked I'm stuck on this, look at this differently, reframe this problem, or how else could I think about this. Produces the same problem re-cast through several deliberately different frames (each of which changes what the problem even is), what each reframe reveals, and the most useful new angle to pursue — because being stuck is usually a framing problem, not an effort problem.

# Think From Another Angle When you're stuck, thinking harder from the same angle rarely helps — the angle itself is the trap. This re-casts your problem through deliberately different frames: how a curious ten-year-old would see it, how another industry solves the equivalent, what happens at the extremes, what if you did the opposite. Each reframe changes what the problem *is*, and one of them usually pops it open. ## What This Skill Produces - **The problem, reframed several ways** — recast through distinct lenses (naïve, outsider, another domain, inverted, extreme, "what if this weren't a problem") - **What each reframe reveals** — the new angle or possibility each one exposes - **The most useful frame** — the reframe that best unsticks this specific problem - **A next move** — the concrete action the best reframe points to ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The problem** — what you're stuck on - **How you're currently framing it** — so we can break that frame - **What you've tried** — so we don't reframe into a dead end - **What "unstuck" looks like** — the outcome you want ## Framework: Change The Frame, Not The Effort 1. **Name the current frame.** How is t

What does the think-from-another-angle skill do?
Get unstuck on a problem by deliberately re-framing it through a different lens — a child's, an outsider's, another industry's, the reverse, the extreme. Use when asked I'm stuck on this, look at this differently, reframe this problem, or how else could I think about this. Produces the same problem re-cast through several deliberately different frames (each of which changes what the problem even is), what each reframe reveals, and the most useful new angle to pursue — because being stuck is usually a framing problem, not an effort problem.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill think-from-another-angle --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,277 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
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.
