What the skill teaches
A skill from Seth Hobson's agents collection, in its agent-teams plugin, for bugs with several plausible causes. The agent generates competing hypotheses across six failure categories: logic errors, data issues, state problems, integration failures, resource issues and environment. Each hypothesis is investigated in parallel, with evidence cited by file and line and given a confidence level. Results are sorted into confirmed, refuted or inconclusive; when several are confirmed they are compared, a root cause is chosen and the fix is validated, and when none is, new hypotheses are drawn from the evidence. A reference file covers hypothesis testing.
