Iron Laws

1. ALWAYS search solutions before investigating — Check .claude/solutions/ for existing fixes before debugging
2. YAML frontmatter is MANDATORY — Every solution needs validated metadata per ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/schema.md
3. One problem per file — Never combine multiple solutions
4. Include prevention — Every solution documents how to prevent recurrence

Solution File Format

module: "Accounts"
date: "2025-12-01"
problem_type: runtime_error

# Association NotLoaded on User Posts

## Symptoms
Ecto.Association.NotLoaded raised when accessing user.posts
in UserListLive after filtering.

## Root Cause
Query in Accounts context missing preload for :posts.

## Solution
Added `Repo.preload(:posts)` to `list_users/1`.

## Prevention
Use n1-check skill before shipping list views.

Searching Solutions

Use Grep to search .claude/solutions/ by symptom (e.g., NotLoaded), by tag (e.g., tags:.*preload), or by component (e.g., component: ecto).
