MITRE Problem Framing Canvas
deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills
Guides a three-phase canvas, looking inward, looking outward, then reframing, to produce an equity-aware problem statement.
Get unstuck on a problem by deliberately re-framing it through a different lens — a child's, an outsider's, another industry's, the reverse, the extreme.

What it does
Think From Another Angle is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Get unstuck on a problem by deliberately re-framing it through a different lens — a child's, an outsider's, another industry's, the reverse, the extreme. Use when asked I'm stuck on this, look at this differently, reframe this problem, or how else could I think about this. Produces the same problem re-cast through several deliberately different frames (each of which changes what the problem even is), what each reframe reveals, and the most useful new angle to pursue — because being stuck is usually a framing…
Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked Im stuck on this
- Look at this differently
- Reframe this problem
- How else could I think about this
Example prompts
- “s, an outsider”
- “s, the reverse, the extreme. Use when asked I”
- “/think-from-another-angle”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Name the current frame. How is the person seeing the problem? That framing is likely the constraint.
- Apply distinct lenses. Recast through genuinely different frames — the ten-year-old, the outsider, another industry's version, the…
- Let each redefine the problem. A good reframe changes what the problem even is — not just restates it.
- Extract the insight from each. Say what each frame reveals that the original hid.
- Pick the key and act. Identify the reframe that most unsticks this, and the concrete next move it implies.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Think From Another Angle loads about 902 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Get unstuck on a problem by deliberately re-framing it through a different lens — a child's, an outsider's, another industry's, the reverse, the extreme. Use when asked I'm stuck on this, look at this differently, reframe this problem, or how else could I think about this. Produces the same problem re-cast through several deliberately different frames (each of which changes what the problem even is), what each reframe reveals, and the most useful new angle to pursue — because being stuck is usually a framing problem, not an effort problem.
Think From Another Angle
When you're stuck, thinking harder from the same angle rarely helps — the angle itself is the trap. This re-casts your problem through deliberately different frames: how a curious ten-year-old would see it, how another industry solves the equivalent, what happens at the extremes, what if you did the opposite. Each reframe changes what the problem is, and one of them usually pops it open.
What This Skill Produces
- The problem, reframed several ways — recast through distinct lenses (naïve, outsider, another domain, inverted, extreme, "what if this weren't a problem")
- What each reframe reveals — the new angle or possibility each one exposes
- The most useful frame — the reframe that best unsticks this specific problem
- A next move — the concrete action the best reframe points to
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The problem — what you're stuck on
- How you're currently framing it — so we can break that frame
- What you've tried — so we don't reframe into a dead end
- What "unstuck" looks like — the outcome you want
Framework: Change The Frame, Not The Effort
- Name the current frame. How is the person seeing the problem? That framing is likely the constraint.
- Apply distinct lenses. Recast through genuinely different frames — the ten-year-old, the outsider, another industry's version, the inverse, the extreme, "what if this were the goal not the problem."
- Let each redefine the problem. A good reframe changes what the problem even is — not just restates it.
- Extract the insight from each. Say what each frame reveals that the original hid.
- Pick the key and act. Identify the reframe that most unsticks this, and the concrete next move it implies.

Output Format
Stuck on: [the problem] · currently framed as [x]
Reframes
- 🧒 Naïve: [how a beginner sees it] → reveals [x].
- 🌍 Outsider / another field: [how they'd solve the equivalent] → reveals [x].
- 🔄 Inverted: [the opposite framing] → reveals [x].
- 📏 Extreme: [at the limit] → reveals [x].
Most useful angle: [the reframe that unsticks it]. Next move: [the concrete action it points to].
Quality Checks
- Names and breaks the current frame
- Applies genuinely distinct lenses (not restatements)
- Each reframe changes what the problem is and reveals something
- Identifies the single most useful reframe
- Points to a concrete next move
Anti-Patterns
- Restating the problem in new words (not reframing).
- Reframes that all say the same thing.
- Clever angles with no insight attached.
- No pick and no next move — leaving the person still stuck.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "I'm stuck on this problem — help me see it differently."
- "Reframe how I'm thinking about my career rut."
- "How else could I look at this conflict?"
- "I keep hitting a wall on this — different angle?"
- "Recast this problem for me."
