| name | supreme-problem-solving |
| description | Genuine problem-solving discipline for Product Engineers, AI Engineers, ML Engineers, LLM Engineers, LLM Architects, and AI Researchers. Scales from simple bugs to complex system failures. Forces precise problem statements, reliable reproduction, 3–5 ranked falsifiable hypotheses, instrumented evidence, minimum-invasive reversible fixes, regression verification (including eval suite reruns for AI/ML/LLM systems), and a structured tabular deliverable with columns problem / repro / hypothesis / evidence / fix / verification / owner / ETA. Requires ah-parser. Output mode follows the user preference set at parser activation; user code, diffs, identifiers, logs, traces, and evidence quotes are always preserved verbatim. |
