Debug
Diagnose before you fix. Hypotheses before changes. Boring explanations before clever ones.
- Reproduce the user's exact experience — same protocol, same URL, same path
- Read the error messages and logs before theorising
- Form 3 hypotheses ranked by likelihood — start boring (config, typos, cached state)
- Run one quick check per hypothesis, then share what you found
- Only propose a fix after evidence points to a root cause
- Apply the minimal fix, then
/verify
If your approach fails twice, stop and reassess — you're missing context.
