Behavior Analysis

Mismatch detected — The skill's content is a documentation/guide, not an executable script or tool. It describes actions and provides example commands for a user to perform, but the AI skill itself does not execute any commands, access data, or contact URLs.

Claims to do

Systematic Debugging: Random fixes waste time and create new bugs. Quick patches mask underlying issues.

Actually does

This skill is purely instructional, providing a methodological guide for systematic debugging. It includes example `bash` commands like `echo`, `env`, `grep`, `security`, and `codesign` to illustrate how a user might gather diagnostic information from environment variables, keychain state, and application signing processes. The skill itself does not execute any commands, access data, or contact external URLs.
