## When to Use This Skill

Structure bug-hunt experiences into engaging technical posts that teach method, not just drama. Use when writing dev blogs, hackathon retrospectives, or 'how I fixed X' content.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Open mid-action: the symptom that ruined your day, concretely
2. Reconstruct hunt as numbered hypotheses with evidence for/against
3. Show the misleading path you took — readers learn most there
4. Reveal root cause with the minimal repro snippet
5. Extract 2-3 transferable lessons beyond this specific bug
6. End with prevention checklist readers can adopt today

## Common Pitfalls

- Chronological dumps including irrelevant detours
- Lessons so generic they fit any story
