Map causal relationships, trace dependencies, and reason about consequences before acting. Use when you need to understand what causes what, what breaks if something changes, or what must be true for a plan to work. TRIGGERS: 'map the dependencies', 'what causes this', 'what breaks if I change X', 'trace the root cause', 'if X then what', 'what has to be true for this to work', any situation involving root cause analysis, impact assessment, dependency tracing, or reasoning about chains of effect.

# Logic Causal Reasoning

Correlation isn't causation. Neither is sequence. "This happened, then that happened" is not the same as "this caused that" — but it's treated as equivalent constantly, and it produces wrong diagnoses, failed fixes, and surprised engineers.

This skill makes causal structure explicit: what actually depends on what, what change produces what effect, and what must be true for a plan to hold.

## Four Modes

Use the mode that matches the question.

**Framing check:** Confirm the specific causal situation before selecting a mode. State what you've identified — the system or situation, the observed effect or proposed change, and the core causal question — in one sentence, then use `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Question:** "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the specific situation and causal question]. Is that right?"
