When To Activate

Trigger when you see:

• Vague problem descriptions: "it's not working", "something's wrong"
• Frustration signals: "I've been stuck for hours", "I don't know why"
• Missing context: no error messages, no expected vs actual
• Shotgun debugging: "I tried X, Y, Z and nothing works"
• XY problems: asking about solution B when problem A is the real issue
