## 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.
