Bounded Investigation

Keep a multi-file investigation bounded by delegating broad discovery and recording the evidence needed to verify the conclusion. Targeted reads and narrow commands are assumed; they are not what this skill adds.

When to Use

Invoke this when the work is investigation and the relevant code is not yet located, such as:

• a stack trace or error with no obvious owning file
• a "why does X happen" question naming a behavior but no source
• an audit or archaeology pass that will span many files

Skip it once the relevant files are identified, or for ordinary edits to known code.
