Minimal Reproduction

Before changing code, make the failing behavior repeatable with a small command, test, or script.

Steps

  1. Identify the shortest path from command to failure.
  2. Remove unrelated inputs while the failure still reproduces.
  3. Keep the reproduction as a regression test when practical.

Provenance

Seeded during v1 starter-pack expansion from goal.md. Inspired by: https://github.com/obra/superpowers and https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.
