TRIZ 76 Standard Solutions — guides users through solving technical and organizational problems using Substance-Field Analysis (Su-Field) and the 76 Standard Solutions organized in 5 classes. Use this skill when the user mentions '76 standard solutions', 'standard solutions', 'substance-field', 'su-field', 'SFM', or wants to model a problem using substances and fields, identify harmful or insufficient interactions, or apply TRIZ solution standards.

TRIZ Cause and Effect Chain Analysis (CECA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) — guides users through structured causal analysis to identify root causes, key disadvantages, and the contradictions behind them. Use this skill when the user mentions 'CECA', 'cause and effect chain', 'Ursache-Wirkungs-Analyse', 'Ursache-Wirkungs-Kette', 'root cause analysis', 'RCA', or wants to investigate why an engineering problem occurs, trace defects to their root causes, or derive contradictions from causal chains. For a failure investigation whose goal is an investigation plan, corrective actions and a final report rather than contradictions, use the root-cause-analysis skill instead.

TRIZ Contradiction Solver and 40 Inventive Principles — resolves engineering and physical contradictions using the Altshuller Matrix, Matrix 2003, and the 40 Inventive Principles. Use this skill whenever the user mentions 'contradiction', 'inventive principles', '40 principles', 'Altshuller', 'Matrix 2003', 'engineering contradiction', 'technical contradiction', 'technischer Widerspruch', 'physical contradiction', 'physikalischer Widerspruch', 'IF THEN BUT', 'WENN DANN ABER', or wants to solve a technical trade-off, improve a system parameter without worsening another, or apply TRIZ contradiction analysis. For a purely physical contradiction — one parameter of one component required to take two opposing values — prefer the 'physical-contradictions' skill, which carries both documented strategy sets and the applicability check; use this skill for engineering contradictions, matrix lookups, and free application of the 40 Inventive Principles.

TRIZ Derivative Resources Analysis — takes the resources a system already has and transforms them into derivative resources (R0 → R1 → R2 → R3), then into useful functions and concrete solution concepts, using the classical ARIZ derived-resource operators plus an extended operator set. Use this skill when the user mentions 'derivative resources', 'derived resources', 'abgeleitete Ressourcen', 'resource chains', 'Ressourcenketten', or wants to turn by-products, waste, idle capacity, harmful effects or existing data into something useful. A plain inventory of what a system has — the six resource types, MATChEMIB — belongs to the resource-analysis skill; this one takes over as soon as the question is what those resources could be turned into.

TRIZ Feature Transfer — helps enhance systems by adopting beneficial features from alternative systems. Use this skill when the user wants to transfer features between systems, combine advantages of competing systems, find analogies from other domains, or mentions 'feature transfer', 'alternative system', or wants to adopt a principle from one system into another.

TRIZ Function Analysis for technical systems — identifies tools, actions, objects, and functions, clarifies component relationships, and reveals the system's main function. Use this skill when the user wants to perform a function analysis, identify functions in a technical system, map tools-actions-objects, or create a function model. Also trigger on mentions of 'function analysis', 'function model', 'tool-action-object', or 'function carrier'. For a dedicated map of how components interact along energy, matter, and information flow, use the function-interaction-analysis skill instead.

Advanced Function Analysis with Spatio-Temporal Considerations — extends traditional function analysis by incorporating 'when' and 'where' functions are performed, uncovering inefficiencies, mismatches, or missing/harmful effects across time and space. Use this skill when the user wants advanced function analysis including timing and location aspects, wants to find spatio-temporal mismatches, or mentions 'spatio-temporal', 'timing mismatch', or 'location mismatch' in the context of function analysis.

TRIZ Function and Interaction Analysis — analyzes technical systems by identifying components, mapping their interactions based on energy/matter/information flow, and presenting functions in tabular form. Use this skill when the user wants to analyze how system components interact, map energy or information flows between parts, or mentions 'interaction analysis', 'component interaction', or wants to understand how a technical system works at the component level. For a full function model with usefulness category, degree of fulfillment, and the system's main function, use the function-analysis skill instead.

TRIZ Function-Oriented Search (FOS), Method-Oriented Search (MOS), and Scientific Effects exploration — helps users find inventive solutions by searching for scientific effects, natural analogies, and functionally similar solutions from other domains. Use this skill when the user mentions 'function-oriented search', 'FOS', 'MOS', 'scientific effects', 'AskNature', 'Oxford Creativity', or wants to find how other systems or nature solve a similar function.

TRIZ Ideality — increases the ideality of a technical system by reducing harm, enhancing usefulness, managing resources, and adding new functions, and formulates the Ideal Final Result (IFR). Offers automatic, semi-automatic, and interactive working modes. Use this skill when the user wants to increase system ideality, reduce complexity, improve performance without adding resources, define the ideal system, or mentions 'ideality', 'ideal system', 'ideal final result', 'IFR', 'Idealität', 'ideales Endresultat', or wants to move a system toward its ideal state.

TRIZ Innovation Situation Questionnaire (ISQ / ISQ++) — guides users through the structured ISQ process by presenting questions and capturing responses, with optional Excel export. Use this skill when the user mentions 'ISQ', 'innovation checklist', 'innovation situation questionnaire', or wants a structured questionnaire to analyze their engineering challenge, clarify contradictions, or document their innovation situation.

Interactive TRIZ TRIMMING with extended rules (A, B, C, D, E, X) — guides users interactively through trimming components from technical systems using an expanded set of rules including external components, new markets, and better alternatives. Use this skill when the user wants a more interactive or extended trimming approach, mentions 'interactive trimming', or wants to explore additional trimming strategies beyond the basic A/B/C rules.

TRIZ PV-MPV Analysis — structured facilitator for identifying Parameters of Value (PVs) and Main Parameters of Value (MPVs) of a technical system. Use this skill when the user mentions 'MPV', 'PV', 'parameter of value', 'main parameter of value', 'value analysis', or wants to identify what customers value most about a product, find innovation opportunities based on customer satisfaction, or prioritize improvement areas for a technical system.

TRIZ Patent Analyzer — identifies engineering and physical contradictions in patent texts using TRIZ methodology. Analyzes uploaded documents, extracts problem parameters, matches them via synonyms, and formulates contradictions. Use this skill when the user wants to analyze a patent for contradictions, extract TRIZ parameters from patent claims, identify improving and worsening effects in a patent, or mentions 'patent analysis', 'patent contradiction', or uploads a patent document for TRIZ analysis.

TRIZ Physical Contradictions and Separation Principles — identifies and resolves physical contradictions using two documented strategy sets: the Litvin variant (separation in space, time, relation, system level, plus Satisfy and Bypass) and the Zlotin/Zusman variant (separation in space, time, on condition, between parts and whole, plus Transition to Alternative System), each linked to the recommended Inventive Principles. Use this skill when the user mentions 'physical contradiction', 'physikalischer Widerspruch', 'separation principles', 'Separationsprinzipien', 'separation in space', 'separation in time', 'Litvin', 'Zlotin', 'Zusman', or has conflicting requirements for a single parameter that must take two opposing values simultaneously.

TRIZ Problem Operator (Problem-Oriented Nine Screen Approach) — solves a concrete problem across a problem timeline (prevention / mitigation / Plan B) at Super-System, System, and Sub-System levels. Use this skill when the user mentions 'problem operator', 'problem-oriented 9 boxes', 'problem-oriented nine screens', or the German terms 'Problemoperator', 'problemorientiertes Neun-Felder-Denken', 'problemorientiertes 9-Felder-Denken', or wants to find solutions for a recurring or unavoidable problem by examining it before, during, and after it occurs. For mapping how a system evolves over calendar years (evolutionsorientiertes Neun-Felder-Denken), use the system-operator skill instead.

TRIZ Resource Analysis — identifies and creatively utilizes all six TRIZ resource types (material, field, functional, informational, spatial, temporal) to solve technical or organizational problems. Use this skill when the user mentions 'resource analysis', 'TRIZ resources', 'hidden resources', 'MATChEMIB', or wants to discover available resources in their system, find creative uses for existing resources, or solve a problem without adding new components.

Root Cause Analysis for engineering failures — traces an observed problem back to its physical root causes, classifies each by the physical parameter that is too high or too low, and derives an investigation plan, corrective actions and a final report. Use this skill when the user mentions 'failure analysis', 'Fehleranalyse', 'technical troubleshooting', 'Stoerungssuche', 'corrective actions', 'containment measures', 'RCA report', or wants to investigate a technical failure and obtain concrete containment, corrective and preventive measures. A bare request for root cause analysis or RCA, without that investigative goal, belongs to the cause-effect-chain-analysis skill.

TRIZ Root Conflict Analysis (RCA+) — a domain-independent technique for defining, structuring, and visually representing problems by discovering contradictions. Extends classical Root Cause Analysis by identifying causes that produce both positive and negative effects simultaneously. Applicable to engineering, product, process, service, and business/management problems. Use this skill when the user mentions 'root conflict analysis', 'RCA+', 'Grundkonfliktanalyse', or wants to decompose a complex problem into its underlying contradictions rather than just finding root causes.

TRIZ Smart Little People (SLP) method — uses imaginary tiny intelligent agents to creatively model and solve problems within technical systems. Use this skill when the user mentions 'smart little people', 'SLP', 'miniature dwarf', or wants to overcome psychological inertia, visualize micro-level interactions, or find unconventional solutions by imagining tiny agents working inside a system.

Guides a structured sustainability assessment of production processes or product use phases using TRIZ Function Analysis. USE THIS SKILL when the user wants to assess environmental harm, identify waste streams, rank sustainability hotspots, or decide which step to improve first for environmental reasons — TRIZ vocabulary is not required, the sustainability question is. Trigger on: "sustainability", "Nachhaltigkeit", "sustainability hotspots", "circular economy", "Kreislaufwirtschaft", "which step is most harmful", "what waste do we generate", "environmental impact of our process", "Harm score", "FA-Process", "FA-Product", "LCA alternative", "SDG alignment", "cyclicity matrix". Do not trigger on a general question about where to focus or what to improve first: without environmental harm, waste, emissions, resource consumption or circularity in the request, use mpv-analysis or trimming instead.

TRIZ System Description (Mini-ISQ) — guides users through creating a clear technical system and problem description via structured questions. Use this skill when the user wants to describe a technical system, define a system and its problems, create a system description for TRIZ analysis, or needs a structured starting point before applying other TRIZ tools.
