+# Codebase Understanding Phase
+
+**When to skip:** If provided with scout reports, skip this phase.
+
+## Core Activities
+
+### Parallel Scout Agents
+- Use `/scout:ext` (preferred) or `/scout` (fallback) slash command to search the codebase for files needed to complete the task
+- Each scout locates files needed for specific task aspects
+- Wait for all scout agents to report back before analysis
+- Efficient for finding relevant code across large codebases
+
+### Essential Documentation Review
+ALWAYS read these files first:
+
+1. **`./docs/development-rules.md`** (IMPORTANT)
+   - File Name Conventions
+   - File Size Management
+   - Development rules and best practices
+   - Code quality standards
+   - Security guidelines
+
+2. **`./docs/codebase-summary.md`**
+   - Project structure and current status
+   - High-level architecture overview
+   - Component relationships
+
+3. **`./docs/code-standards.md`**
+   - Coding conventions and standards
+   - Language-specific patterns
+   - Naming conventions
+
+4. **`./docs/design-guidelines.md`** (if exists)
+   - Design system guidelines
+   - Branding and UI/UX conventions
+   - Component library usage
+
+### Environment Analysis
+- Review development environment setup
+- Analyze dotenv files and configuration
+- Identify required dependencies
+- Understand build and deployment processes
+
+### Pattern Recognition
+- Study existing patterns in codebase
+- Identify conventions and architectural decisions
+- Note consistency in implementation approaches
+- Understand error handling patterns
+
+### Integration Planning
+- Identify how new features integrate with existing architecture
+- Map dependencies between components
+- Understand data flow and state management
+- Consider backward compatibility
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Start with documentation before diving into code
+- Use scouts for targeted file discovery
+- Document patterns found for consistency
+- Note any inconsistencies or technical debt
+- Consider impact on existing features

+name: Problem-Solving Techniques
+description: Apply systematic problem-solving techniques for complexity spirals (simplification cascades), innovation blocks (collision-zone thinking), recurring patterns (meta-pattern recognition), assumption constraints (inversion exercise), scale uncertainty (scale game), and dispatch when stuck. Techniques derived from Microsoft Amplifier project patterns adapted for immediate application.
+version: 2.0.0
+---
+
+# Problem-Solving Techniques
+
+Systematic approaches for different types of stuck-ness. Each technique targets specific problem patterns.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Apply when encountering:
+- **Complexity spiraling** - Multiple implementations, growing special cases, excessive branching
+- **Innovation blocks** - Conventional solutions inadequate, need breakthrough thinking
+- **Recurring patterns** - Same issue across domains, reinventing solutions
+- **Assumption constraints** - Forced into "only way", can't question premise
+- **Scale uncertainty** - Production readiness unclear, edge cases unknown
+- **General stuck-ness** - Unsure which technique applies
+
+## Quick Dispatch
+
+**Match symptom to technique:**
+
+| Stuck Symptom | Technique | Reference |
+|---------------|-----------|-----------|
+| Same thing implemented 5+ ways, growing special cases | **Simplification Cascades** | `references/simplification-cascades.md` |
+| Conventional solutions inadequate, need breakthrough | **Collision-Zone Thinking** | `references/collision-zone-thinking.md` |
+| Same issue in different places, reinventing wheels | **Meta-Pattern Recognition** | `references/meta-pattern-recognition.md` |
+| Solution feels forced, "must be done this way" | **Inversion Exercise** | `references/inversion-exercise.md` |
+| Will this work at production? Edge cases unclear? | **Scale Game** | `references/scale-game.md` |
+| Unsure which technique to use | **When Stuck** | `references/when-stuck.md` |
+
+## Core Techniques
+
+### 1. Simplification Cascades
+Find one insight eliminating multiple components. "If this is true, we don't need X, Y, Z."
+
+**Key insight:** Everything is a special case of one general pattern.
+
+**Red flag:** "Just need to add one more case..." (repeating forever)
+
+### 2. Collision-Zone Thinking
+Force unrelated concepts together to discover emergent properties. "What if we treated X like Y?"
+
+**Key insight:** Revolutionary ideas from deliberate metaphor-mixing.
+
+**Red flag:** "I've tried everything in this domain"
+
+### 3. Meta-Pattern Recognition
+Spot patterns appearing in 3+ domains to find universal principles.
+
+**Key insight:** Patterns in how patterns emerge reveal reusable abstractions.
+
+**Red flag:** "This problem is unique" (probably not)
+
+### 4. Inversion Exercise
+Flip core assumptions to reveal hidden constraints. "What if the opposite were true?"
+
+**Key insight:** Valid inversions reveal context-dependence of "rules."
+
+**Red flag:** "There's only one way to do this"
+
+### 5. Scale Game
+Test at extremes (1000x bigger/smaller, instant/year-long) to expose fundamental truths.
+
+**Key insight:** What works at one scale fails at another.
+
+**Red flag:** "Should scale fine" (without testing)
+
+## Application Process
+
+1. **Identify stuck-type** - Match symptom to technique above
+2. **Load detailed reference** - Read specific technique from `references/`
+3. **Apply systematically** - Follow technique's process
+4. **Document insights** - Record what worked/failed
+5. **Combine if needed** - Some problems need multiple techniques
+
+## Combining Techniques
+
+Powerful combinations:
+- **Simplification + Meta-pattern** - Find pattern, then simplify all instances
+- **Collision + Inversion** - Force metaphor, then invert its assumptions
+- **Scale + Simplification** - Extremes reveal what to eliminate
+- **Meta-pattern + Scale** - Universal patterns tested at extremes

+# Collision-Zone Thinking
+
+Force unrelated concepts together to discover emergent properties. "What if we treated X like Y?"
+
+## Core Principle
+
+Revolutionary insights from deliberate metaphor-mixing. Treat X like Y and see what emerges.
+
+## When to Use
+
+| Symptom | Action |
+|---------|--------|
+| Stuck in conventional thinking | Force wild domain collision |
+| Solutions feel incremental | Need breakthrough, not optimization |
+| "Tried everything in this domain" | Import concepts from elsewhere |
+| Need innovation, not iteration | Deliberately mix unrelated ideas |
+
+## Quick Reference Collisions
+
+| Treat This | Like This | Discovers |
+|------------|-----------|-----------|
+| Code organization | DNA/genetics | Mutation testing, evolutionary algorithms |
+| Service architecture | Lego bricks | Composable microservices, plug-and-play |
+| Data management | Water flow | Streaming, data lakes, flow-based systems |
+| Request handling | Postal mail | Message queues, async processing |
+| Error handling | Circuit breakers | Fault isolation, graceful degradation |
+
+## Process
+
+1. **Pick two unrelated concepts** from different domains
+2. **Force combination** - "What if we treated [A] like [B]?"
+3. **Explore emergent properties** - What new capabilities appear?
+4. **Test boundaries** - Where does the metaphor break?
+5. **Extract insight** - What did we learn?
+
+## Detailed Example
+
+**Problem:** Complex distributed system with cascading failures
+
+**Collision:** "What if we treated services like electrical circuits?"
+
+**Emergent properties:**
+- Circuit breakers (disconnect on overload)
+- Fuses (one-time failure protection)
+- Ground faults (error isolation)
+- Load balancing (current distribution)
+- Voltage regulation (rate limiting)
+
+**Where it works:** Preventing cascade failures, fault isolation
+
+**Where it breaks:** Circuits don't have retry logic, healing mechanisms
+
+**Insight gained:** Failure isolation patterns from electrical engineering
+
+## Best Source Domains
+
+Rich domains for concept mining:
+- **Physics** - Forces, thermodynamics, relativity
+- **Biology** - Evolution, ecosystems, immune systems
+- **Economics** - Markets, incentives, game theory
+- **Psychology** - Cognition, behavior, motivation
+- **Architecture** - Structure, flow, space utilization
+
+## Red Flags
+
+You need collision-zone thinking when:
+- "I've tried everything in this domain"
+- Solutions feel incremental, not breakthrough
+- Stuck in conventional thinking
+- Need innovation, not optimization
+- "Standard approach isn't working"
+
+## Remember
+
+- Wild combinations often yield best insights
+- Test metaphor boundaries rigorously
+- Document even failed collisions (they teach)
+- Breakthrough > incremental improvement
+- Question: "What would [domain expert] do?"
