Diagnosing Bugs

Use this before changing code when the failure is not already isolated.

Load references/workflow.md for the diagnosis loop.

Coordinate with nearby skills:

• If the user asks about latency, load performance-rescue too
• If the fix needs test design or TDD, load test-quality too
• If the bug is security, auth, secrets, or data exposure related, load security-review too.

Do not jump from symptom to patch. First build evidence that the proposed fix addresses the exact user-described failure.
