# TRIZ Thinking ## Overview TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch) is a systematic innovation methodology developed by Genrich Altshuller from analyzing 200,000+ patents. It provides structured approaches to solve "impossible" problems by identifying and resolving contradictions rather than accepting trade-offs. **Core Principle:** Behind every difficult problem lies a contradiction. Resolve the contradiction, solve the problem. Great innovations don't compromise—they transcend. ## When to Use - Facing "impossible" trade-offs (fast vs. accurate, secure vs. convenient) - Stuck choosing between two conflicting requirements - Need innovation beyond incremental improvement - Design has hit fundamental constraints - Competitors all accept the same trade-off you're facing - Requirements seem mutually exclusive - Breaking through performance plateaus Decision flow: ``` Stuck between trade-offs? → yes → APPLY TRIZ Requirements seem contradictory? → yes → APPLY TRIZ Need breakthrough, not compromise? → yes → APPLY TRIZ All solutions have same weakness? → yes → APPLY TRIZ ``` ## The Ideal Final Result (IFR) Before solving, envision the ideal outcome—the system that solves itself:

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill thinking-triz --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 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.
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.
