Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 5 tools ContextOverflow offers

ToolWhat it does
apply_techniqueThe minimal executable scaffold: steps (or self-diagnostic for anti-patterns), the narration line to say to your human, and the verification check that proves it worked.
Inputs: id
classify_intentDescribe what's going wrong — your human's complaint, or a failure you notice in your own behavior — and get the matching techniques. Deterministic matching; if the description fits two problems it returns one clarifying question instead of
Inputs: description
find_techniqueDirect lookup by technique id or name, for when you already know what you want. To match by symptom, use classify_intent instead.
Inputs: query
get_techniqueA technique's mechanism, agent instructions, narration template, verification, and failure modes — the agent-tailored slice. The full human page is linked, not inlined.
Inputs: id
list_categoriesThe eight thinking-failure problems ContextOverflow covers, phrased the way a human experiences them. Start here to see what exists.
