Is the TRIZ Engineering Solver skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from Antropocosmist/triz-engineering-solver. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the TRIZ Engineering Solver SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install TRIZ Engineering Solver?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use TRIZ Engineering Solver with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 5c40ebd

Actually queried the shipped 39x39 contradiction_matrix.json for a real drone battery-vs-weight contradiction (cell 15,1) and got principles [19,5,34,31] — Merging and Discarding/Recovering produced a 'structural battery skin' and 'progressive mass-shedding' concept that generic brainstorming never reached, while the skill's own anti-compromise rule would flag the baseline's 'pick a medium battery size' answer as a rejected pattern.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 9/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What TRIZ Engineering Solver does

Applies formal TRIZ methodology (IFR, 39 parameters, 39x39 contradiction matrix, Su-Field analysis, ARIZ-85C) to resolve engineering contradictions instead of compromising between them. Triggers on technical trade-off descriptions ('improving X worsens Y'), physical contradictions, or explicit requests for inventive/breakthrough engineering solutions; explicitly refuses non-physical domains like UX or business strategy.

How to install TRIZ Engineering Solver

git clone https://github.com/Antropocosmist/triz-engineering-solver
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r triz-engineering-solver ~/.claude/skills/triz-engineering-solver

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger TRIZ Engineering Solver

/triz-engineering-solver Runs Altshuller's TRIZ contradiction matrix and 40 inventive principles on real engineering trade-offs.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Increasing wall thickness improves strength but adds too much weight.
How do I fix overheating in a compact enclosure without adding fans?
Give me inventive principles for solving this engineering tradeoff.
