SKILL.md

Never apply symptom-focused patches that mask underlying problems. Understand WHY something fails before attempting to fix it.

Key principle: Never fix problems solely where errors appear—always trace to the original trigger.

Critical rule: If THREE or more fixes fail consecutively, STOP. This signals architectural problems requiring discussion, not more patches.
