<skill_overview> Random fixes waste time and create new bugs. Always use tools to understand root cause BEFORE attempting fixes. Symptom fixes are failure. </skill_overview>

<rigidity_level> MEDIUM FREEDOM - Must complete investigation phases (tools → hypothesis → test) before fixing.

Can adapt tool choice to language/context. Never skip investigation or guess at fixes. </rigidity_level>
