Etiology | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Bug-fix discipline — every defect has an etiology, the chain of cause that produced the observable fault; trace it before patching. Errors only grow: a bandaid leaks unless genuinely localized and leak-free. Walk the diagnostic ladder (presentation → proximate cause → API contract → isolated or systemic) before writing the fix. Use when authoring or reviewing any bug fix, regression patch, "quick fix" PR, or when deciding whether to ship, defer, or refactor.
