cynefin-classifier
Classify problems into Cynefin Framework domains (Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, Confusion) and recommend appropriate response strategies. Use when unsure how to approach a problem, facing analysis paralysis, or needing to choose between expert analysis and experimentation.
interview
Use when onboarding a new product/project. Progressive interview to understand purpose, vision, north star, and competitive landscape.
cynefin
Use before choosing how to solve a problem, make a decision, plan work, diagnose a bug or incident, or pick between approaches — whenever the response should depend on what KIND of problem it is. Triggers on "how should we", "what's the best approach", "which option", deciding/planning, root-cause and incident work, design/architecture/refactor calls, and any "I'm stuck / this is uncertain / nobody's done this". The move: read the system by its constraints, place the Cynefin domain (Clear / Complicated / Complex / Chaotic — or admit Disorder), and apply the matching response — sense-making, never sorting into a 2x2. For the Complex domain, design a safe-to-fail probe portfolio, not a solution. Reach for it by default on non-trivial decisions; skip it for mechanical single-answer tasks.
