name: rules
description: Use when a repository rule needs discovery, validation, or diagnosis of an application failure.
---

Trace the owning rule loader and its limits, caching, trust boundary, and
deduplication. State the observed failure, the owning policy, and the evidence
that proves the rule path or exact blocker.

Root dispatches repository inspection to an Explorer Assignment when this
procedure needs source facts; the skill never authorizes Root to inspect the
repository locally.
