Individual skill
sourdough-troubleshooter
Figure out why the loaf came out dense, flat, or gummy — and what to change next bake. Use when asked why is my sourdough [dense/flat/gummy/not rising], my starter isn't bubbling, help fix my bread, or troubleshoot my sourdough. Produces a likely-cause diagnosis from your symptoms and process, the specific fix for the next bake, a starter-health check, and a simple timing/temperature adjustment — no dogma, just the variable that's actually off.

# Sourdough Troubleshooter
Sourdough fails for a short list of reasons — an underpowered starter, under- or over-proofing, weak shaping, or temperature. This reads your symptoms *and* your process, names the single variable most likely at fault, and tells you what to change next time, instead of drowning you in conflicting internet advice.
## What This Skill Produces
- **A symptom-based diagnosis** — what "dense / flat / gummy / no rise / no ears" most likely means for *your* process
- **The one fix that matters** — the single variable to change next bake, not ten at once
- **A starter check** — is it strong enough to rise the dough (float test, feeding rhythm, timing of use)
- **A timing/temperature tweak** — proofing time adjusted for your kitchen's warmth
- **What to keep the same** — so you change one thing and actually learn from it
