# single_hypothesis_minimal_test

## v1

**Why this iteration:** Lifted from the global OpenCode superpowers plugin (obra/superpowers) — `skills/systematic-debugging/SKILL.md`. The directive encodes Phase 3 (lines 145-163): Form Single Hypothesis + Test Minimally + Verify Before Continuing + Don't add more fixes on top. Counterweight to the LLM default of bundling multiple changes into one commit to "save time," which makes the outcome unauditable and slows diagnosis.
