Gemini CLIAbout this skill
Am I trying harder at the wrong thing? - Detects stuckness loops and breaks them. Triggers on (1) explicit stuckness - "going in circles", "keep trying the same thing", "need fresh perspective", (2) implicit stuckness - blame-shifting ("the framework is broken"), false certainty ("I've tried everything"), escalation ("let me just try one more..."), (3) Claude self-observation - noticing own repeated similar attempts or escalating complexity. Does NOT trigger for first attempts, normal exploration, or standard debugging with clear errors. Core action: STOP the current approach, name the pattern, offer exit ramps to completely different approaches. References pattern-library for specific behavioral patterns.
