# isolate the specific failure mode before proposing a fix

## Trigger

- (no explicit trigger metadata; cluster derived from category/tags)

## Required Procedure

- verify each fix addresses exactly one root cause

## Forbidden Shortcuts

- (none recorded)

## Delegation Template

When delegating a task affected by this skill, include:

```
SKILLS: file:.opencode/skills/generated/isolate-the-specific-failure-mode-before-proposing-a-fix/SKILL.md
```

## Reviewer Checks

- Verify each required action above appears in the diff.

## Test Engineer Checks

- Add or update tests covering the trigger condition and the forbidden shortcut.

## Source Knowledge IDs

- a704dc0a-e0a1-42c3-a43e-b0eff135f657 — When a test fails, diagnose each failure mode separately and apply targeted fixes — do not combine unrelated root causes into a single patch.
