One thing to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

MECE Analysis
Structure thinking using Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive categories.
When to Use
When you need to break down a problem, categorize options, or ensure complete coverage.
The Principle
MECE = Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive
- Mutually Exclusive: No overlap between categories
- Collectively Exhaustive: All possibilities covered
The Process
1. Analyze Mutual Exclusivity
For each pair of items:
- Is there any overlap?
- Could something belong to both?
- If overlap exists, redefine boundaries
2. Analyze Collective Exhaustiveness
For the whole set:
- Are there gaps?
- What scenarios aren't covered?
- What's missing?
3. Create Logical Tree
Structure as hierarchy:
- Top level: Broadest categories
- Sub-levels: More specific breakdowns
- Each level should be MECE
Example
Bad (not MECE):
- Marketing channels: Social, Digital, Facebook, Email
- (Facebook overlaps with Social and Digital)
Good (MECE):
- Marketing channels: Paid, Owned, Earned
- Paid: Social ads, Search ads, Display
- Owned: Email, Website, App
- Earned: PR, Reviews, Word of mouth
Output
- MECE categories with clear boundaries
- Logical tree showing hierarchy
- Notes on any gaps or overlaps found
When Not to Use
Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
