Applies a modified Fagan Inspection methodology to systematically resolve persistent bugs and complex issues. Use when multiple previous fix attempts have failed repeatedly, when dealing with intricate system interactions, or when a methodical root cause analysis is needed. Do not use for simple troubleshooting. Triggers after multiple failed debugging attempts on the same complex issue.

Applies a modified Fagan Inspection methodology to resolve persistent bugs and complex issues. Use when several fix or debugging attempts have already failed and a methodical root-cause analysis warranting a Fagan inspection is needed. For first-pass diagnosis of a reproducible bug or regression use diagnose-hard-problem. Do not use for simple troubleshooting.

Retrieves up-to-date documentation, API references and code examples for any developer technology. Use when the user asks about, or you need docs for, a specific library, framework, SDK, CLI tool or cloud service - even well-known ones, as training data may be outdated.
