Investigate first

Gather evidence before changing product code.

  • Separate observed symptom from inferred cause.
  • Trace inputs, state transitions, ownership boundaries, and failure output.
  • Rank hypotheses by evidence and cheap falsification value.
  • Do not edit until one credible mechanism explains evidence.
  • Stop exploration when evidence is sufficient to name cause or exact blocker.

Report cause and proof. Make no fix unless task authorizes implementation.

More from JuliusBrussee/caveman8

cavecrew

When to delegate to `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit) or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of working inline or using `Explore`. Their output is compressed, so main context lasts longer.

Read-only review of Caveman Cloud evidence: cost, Cave Score, workflows, traces, latency, errors, routing, savings. Use when asked what Caveman found or where LLM spend goes.

Scan passed 0
caveman-explore

Read-only repository explorer for cold-start orientation, broad cross-file localization, or when a direct search failed. Skip it when the exact file or symbol is already named. Returns path:line citations only; its reads stay out of main context.
