# toc-thinking
Goldratt's Theory of Constraints Thinking Processes, applied to software systems and their architecture. The skill answers three questions in order. What to change: the Current Reality Tree. To what to change: the Evaporating Cloud, then the Future Reality Tree with negative-branch reservations. How to cause the change: the Prerequisite Tree, then the Transition Tree. Every link in a sufficiency tree is scrutinised with the Categories of Legitimate Reservation, and the user confirms the core problem before the cloud is built. The skill carries the procedure. The depth behind each tool and the categories sits in references beside it, each with its source. No script, no network, no credentials.

## What toc-thinking does, in the publisher's words

Goldratt's Theory of Constraints Thinking Processes, applied to software systems and their architecture. One skill that turns many symptoms into a named root cause, a dilemma into a resolved conflict, and a change into a sequenced plan.

Part of the ai-plugins marketplace.

The skill answers the three questions the Thinking Processes were built for, in order. The user confirms the core problem before the cloud is built.
