Unstuck

Structured debug that forces a ranked hypothesis tree after 20+ minutes of going in circles.

When you've been staring at a bug for 20 minutes you've stopped thinking and started spelunking. Unstuck forces you to write the hypothesis tree, rank by cheapest test first, and stop reading the same files again.

When to reach for it

After 20 minutes of "this should work." Before asking someone smarter for help. Before posting in a forum.

How an owner uses it

Describe the failure and what you've tried. The skill returns the hypothesis tree, the test for each, and the order to run them in. You execute, not flail.
