+# Problem-Solving Skills - Attribution
+
+These skills were derived from agent patterns in the Microsoft Amplifier project.
+
+## Source Repository
+
+- **Name:** Amplifier
+- **URL:** https://github.com/microsoft/amplifier
+- **Commit:** 2adb63f858e7d760e188197c8e8d4c1ef721e2a6
+- **Date:** 2025-10-10
+
+## Skills Derived from Amplifier Agents
+
+### From insight-synthesizer agent:
+- **simplification-cascades** - Finding insights that eliminate multiple components
+- **collision-zone-thinking** - Forcing unrelated concepts together for breakthroughs
+- **meta-pattern-recognition** - Spotting patterns across 3+ domains
+- **inversion-exercise** - Flipping assumptions to reveal alternatives
+- **scale-game** - Testing at extremes to expose fundamental truths
+
+### From ambiguity-guardian agent:
+- **preserving-productive-tensions** - Preserving multiple valid approaches (in architecture skill)
+
+### From knowledge-archaeologist agent:
+- **tracing-knowledge-lineages** - Understanding how ideas evolved (in research skill)
+
+### Dispatch pattern:
+- **when-stuck** - Maps stuck-symptoms to appropriate technique
+
+## What Was Adapted
+
+The Amplifier agents are specialized long-lived agents with structured JSON output. These skills extract the core problem-solving techniques and adapt them as:
+
+- **Scannable quick-reference guides** (~60-80 lines each)
+- **Symptom-based discovery** via when_to_use descriptions
+- **Immediate application** without special tooling
+- **Composable patterns** through dispatch system
+- **Progressive disclosure** via SKILL.md + references structure
+
+## Core Insight
+
+Agent capabilities are domain-agnostic patterns. Whether packaged as "amplifier agent" or "problem-solving skill", the underlying technique is the same.
+
+We extracted the techniques and made them:
+- Portable across contexts
+- Immediately applicable
+- Token-efficient through progressive disclosure
+- Discoverable through symptom-matching
+- Combinable for complex problems

+
+## Adaptation Notes
+
+**Changes from original:**
+- Converted from long-lived agent to scannable reference
+- Added symptom-based dispatch system
+- Removed JSON output requirements
+- Focused on immediate application
+- Added concrete examples
+- Structured for progressive disclosure
+
+**Preserved from original:**
+- Core problem-solving techniques
+- Recognition patterns
+- Application processes
+- Fundamental insights
