This skill analyzes your website's technical health through a business-impact lens rather than generic crawler scores. It surfaces SEO issues ranked by their actual effect on search visibility and user experience, helping you focus optimization efforts where they'll drive the most meaningful results.
H Abduct runs a structured four-step abductive cycle to generate ≥3 competing typed hypotheses for an observed signal, applying plausibility filters and surfacing the prime candidate alongside rivals. It's designed as an internal subroutine for h-diagnose's parallel testing, though manual invocation is supported when disciplined abduction without parallel overhead is needed.
This skill equips you to systematically evaluate how search engines discover, access, and interpret your web properties. Run comprehensive technical audits that surface crawlability barriers, indexation problems, and rendering gaps—then act on findings to strengthen your search presence.
This skill helps you uncover why search engines aren't crawling or indexing your web pages.

This skill applies falsification-first methodology to network and streaming incidents where the obvious cause is likely a red herring. Rather than stacking assumptions, it guides you through layered isolation—testing the same request across different paths to pinpoint exactly which hop (client, CDN, proxy, or backend) is responsible. Use it for connection resets, SSE stalls, fixed-time drops, certificate errors, or LAN mysteries where symptoms like "works sometimes" or "fails after N seconds" point to multiple possible layers.
