Structured debugging that prevents the most common AI coding failure: guessing fixes without understanding root cause. 6 phases: Quick Assessment → Root Cause Investigation → Pattern Analysis → Hypothesis Testing → Implementation → Architecture Question (escalation after 3 failed fixes). Includes supporting references: - external-research-guide.md: official docs/GitHub lookup procedure - root-cause-tracing.md: call stack backtracing methodology Iron Law: "Never propose a fix without root cause investigation." Based on production usage in jyh-system (~1 month, 6+ projects).

Context
Contribution from jyh-system. The most common AI coding failure mode is "guess a fix → doesn't work → guess another → repeat". This skill structurally prevents that.
