From 21ad401e909d7b5e4b0f48f5111669ea87118d11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Galatis Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 02:51:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(systematic-debugging): defuse Claude Code ultrathink keyword scanner trigger (#1558) The "Signals You're Doing It Wrong" bullet in systematic-debugging/SKILL.md contains the literal token Claude Code's runtime scans for in tool result bodies. Every Skill-tool invocation of this skill caused the harness to inject a spurious system-reminder claiming the user requested deeper reasoning, silently bumping every session into extended thinking. Replace the bullet's spelling so the contiguous letter sequence the scanner matches is broken with a hyphen. The signal text remains recognizable to the agent and the documented action ("Question fundamentals, not just symptoms") is unchanged.
