At a glance

Reset and re-evaluate when current approach isn't working. An agent skill from umputun/cc-thingz.

  • Works in 5 steps: Re-analyze the Core Problem → Identify Missing Context → Propose Fresh Approaches → …
  • User says wrong
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow and Requirements
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Wrong is an agent skill from umputun/cc-thingz. Reset and re-evaluate when current approach isn't working. Use when user says "wrong", "this isn't working", "wrong approach", "start over", "try again", "bad direction", or when the current solution path has hit a dead end and needs a fresh perspective.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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: various things for claude code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says wrong
  • This isnt working
  • The current solution path has hit a dead end and needs a fresh perspective

Example prompts

  • “t working. Use when user says”
  • “this isn”
  • “wrong approach”
  • “/wrong”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, EnterPlanMode, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Re-analyze the Core Problem
  2. Identify Missing Context
  3. Propose Fresh Approaches
  4. Explain Trade-offs
  5. Recommend the Best Path Forward

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99e1c8d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • EnterPlanMode
    • AskUserQuestion

    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

Wrong loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~462

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.

Wrong — Reset and Re-evaluate

The current approach isn't working as expected. Step back and re-examine the problem from the beginning.

Workflow

Step 1: Re-analyze the Core Problem

State the problem in clear, simple terms. What exactly are we trying to solve?

Step 2: Identify Missing Context

Determine what additional information is needed about:

  • The existing codebase and its patterns
  • Performance requirements or constraints
  • Integration points with other systems
  • Expected usage patterns or scale
  • Any domain-specific requirements not yet mentioned
Step 3: Propose Fresh Approaches

Suggest 2-3 alternative solutions that:

  • Follow project best practices and idioms
  • Match the existing code's style and architecture patterns
  • Are maintainable and testable
  • Solve the exact problem without over-engineering
  • Don't use shortcuts or hacks
Step 4: Explain Trade-offs

For each proposed approach, briefly explain:

  • Why this approach fits the problem
  • What the main benefits and drawbacks are
  • How it integrates with the existing codebase
Step 5: Recommend the Best Path Forward

Which approach is most appropriate and why?

Requirements

  • Solution must be production-ready, not a proof of concept
  • Code should be idiomatic and follow established patterns
  • Include comprehensive tests with edge cases
  • Provide complete, runnable code with no placeholders
  • Ensure the solution is maintainable

Ask clarifying questions before proceeding.
