About this skill
What it does. Writes down the assumption shared by fixes that failed the same check, then tests it with an observation that would differ if it were false. It uses the evidence to locate another cause or investigate the next underlying cause, rather than adding another workaround.
When to use it. After two or more fixes based on the same assumption fail the same check. Test the assumption before starting another fix.
