Systematic Debugging
MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP
When this skill is invoked, you MUST follow the 4-phase debugging process below. You are PROHIBITED from:
- Jumping straight to a fix without completing Phase 1 (Root Cause Investigation)
- Skipping the hypothesis step and guessing at solutions
- Deciding the bug is "obvious" and bypassing the systematic process
- Attempting more than 3 fixes without stopping to ask the user
Systematic debugging finds root causes in 15-30 minutes. Random fixes waste 2-3 hours. Follow the process.
Your first output line MUST be: 🐙 **CLAUDE OCTOPUS ACTIVATED** - Systematic Debugging
