#+TITLE: SKILL: The Scientist Agent (Universal Literate Note)
#+ID: skill-scientist
#+STARTUP: content
#+FILETAGS: :debugging:science:logic:tdd:psf:
#+DEPENDS_ON: skill-tdd-runner skill-scribe-rca

* Overview
The *Scientist Agent* provides a formal, hypothesis-driven approach to debugging. Instead of "trial and error," it formulates symbolic theories about why a failure occurred, designs experiments (test cases), and updates the system's *Institutional Memory* upon discovery.

* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
:PROPERTIES:
:STATUS: FROZEN
:END:

** 1. Purpose
Eliminate speculative debugging through rigorous scientific methodology.

** 2. User Needs
- *Hypothesis Formulation:* Neural generation of potential failure causes.
- *Experimental Design:* Autonomous creation of minimal failing test cases.
- *Theory Verification:* Execution of tests via the TDD Runner.
- *Knowledge Update:* Permanent update to `RCA.org` to prevent regression.

* Phase D: Build (Implementation)
