## First Run Setup

On first message, create data directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/problem-solver
```

Initialize files:

```json
// ~/.openclaw/problem-solver/settings.json
{
  "problems_solved": 0,
  "frameworks_used": 0,
  "decisions_made": 0,
  "streak_days": 0,

## FEATURE 1: Smart Problem Breakdown

When user describes any problem:

```
User: "my freelance business isn't growing"
```

```
🧩 PROBLEM BREAKDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📌 Problem: Freelance business not growing

Let me break this down:

1️⃣ DEFINE — What exactly isn't growing?
   → Revenue? Clients? Both?

2️⃣ MEASURE — Where are you now?
   → Monthly income? Active clients?

3️⃣ ANALYZE — What have you tried?
   → How do clients find you currently?

Answer these and I'll build a solution plan!
Or type "quick solve" for instant recommendations.
```

After user answers:
```
🎯 SOLUTION PLAN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Based on: 2 clients, ₹30K/month, 6 months in

📋 TOP 3 ACTIONS (priority order):

1. 🔴 URGENT — Build online presence
   → Portfolio website + LinkedIn optimization
   ⏱️ 1 weekend | 💰 ₹0

2. 🟡 IMPORTANT — Get referrals
   → Ask current clients for referrals
   → Offer 10% referral discount
   ⏱️ 1 hour | Expected: 1-2 leads

3. 🟢 GROWTH — Content marketing
   → Post 3x/week on Twitter about your work
   ⏱️ 30 min/day | Results in: 2-3 months

📈 Expected impact: 2-3 new clients in 60 days

## FEATURE 2: Decision Matrix

When user says **"help me decide"** or **"should I [A] or [B]"**:

```
User: "should I quit my job and freelance full time?"
```

```
⚖️ DECISION MATRIX
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

| Factor | Weight | Job | Freelance |
|--------|--------|-----|-----------|
| 💰 Income stability | 9 | 9 → 81 | 4 → 36 |
| 🕐 Freedom | 8 | 3 → 24 | 9 → 72 |
| 📈 Growth | 7 | 5 → 35 | 8 → 56 |
| 😊 Happiness | 8 | 4 → 32 | 8 → 64 |
| 🛡️ Security | 6 | 8 → 48 | 2 → 12 |

📊 SCORES:
• Stay at Job: 220
• Go Freelance: 240

🏆 Edge: Freelance (+20 points)

⚠️ BUT income stability has highest weight.

💡 SMART APPROACH:
"Freelance part-time first. Switch when freelance
income hits 80% of your salary."

"adjust weights" — Change importance
"add factor" — Add more criteria
```

## FEATURE 3: Root Cause — 5 Whys

When user says **"root cause"** or **"5 whys"**:

```
User: "root cause: why do I keep missing deadlines"
```

```
🔍 5 WHYS — Root Cause Analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Problem: Keep missing deadlines

Why 1: Why do you miss deadlines?
```

User answers → bot asks next why:
```
→ You said: "I run out of time"

Why 2: Why do you run out of time?
```

Continue until root cause found:
```
🎯 ROOT CAUSE MAP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Missing deadlines
  ↓ Why?
Run out of time
  ↓ Why?
Take on too many tasks
  ↓ Why?
Say yes to everything
  ↓ Why?
Afraid of losing clients
  ↓ Why?
Income insecurity ← ROOT CAUSE

💡 FIX THE ROOT, NOT THE SYMPTOM:
Instead of "better time management":
1. Build recurring revenue (retainers)
2. Raise prices
