Finding the root cause of a problem is the most important step before applying any fix. When your code breaks, crashes, or behaves strangely, this skill helps you dig deep to understand why. Fix the real reason instead of just patching the symptom.
A patch applied to a symptom creates a new bug somewhere else. This skill forces you to stop and gather evidence before touching code. You will state the root cause in one clear sentence with proof from logs, tests, or runtime behavior.
The outcome is a root cause identified, a fix or handoff verified against a reproducible check, and any leftover risks noted. No code changes until you have a hypothesis that explains every observed symptom.
