What does this agent skill do?

Observe Before Editing

Before editing code to fix a bug, confirm what the system actually produced.

Pattern

Outputs don't lie. Code might. Check outputs first.

DO

  1. Check if expected directories exist: ls -la .claude/cache/
  2. Check if expected files were created: ls -la .claude/cache/learnings/
  3. Check logs for errors: tail .claude/cache/*.log
  4. Run the failing command manually to see actual error
  5. Only then edit code

DON'T

  • Assume "hook didn't run" without checking outputs
  • Edit code based on what you think should happen
  • Confuse global vs project paths (check both: .claude/ and ~/.claude/)

Source Sessions

  • a541f08a: Token limit error was invisible until manual run revealed it
  • 6a9f2d7a: Looked in wrong cache path (~/.claude/ vs .claude/), assumed hook failure
  • a8bd5cea: Confirmed hook worked by finding output files in project cache
  • 1c21e6c8: Verified Artifact Index indexing by checking DB file exists

Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
