- Environment
- Claude Code 2.x
Root-caused a race condition Claude had previously "fixed" three times with guesses. The hypothesis-test-verify loop stopped the guessing.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What it does
Replaces Claude's default "try a plausible fix" behavior with a disciplined loop: reproduce, hypothesize, instrument, verify. Best on bugs that have survived one failed fix already.
