What problem does it solve?
When something doesn't work or the user reports an error, diagnose first — never jump straight to writing fixes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Diagnose errors before patching and write diagnostic steps to uncover root causes.
- Share findings with the user and guide corrective actions based on evidence.
- Propose fixes only after validating the root cause and confirming reconstruction of the issue.
Quick Start
Diagnose a reported issue by first reproducing it, tracing the failing step, and documenting findings before proposing any fix.
