Skill instructions
ShadowFrog .shadow/ mirrors the source tree. Each source file has a .md shadow organized by symbol. Each symbol section contains discoveries — behavioral insights anchored to that code location.

Cross-cutting discoveries reveal hidden contracts, interaction bugs, and design patterns that per-file shadows alone cannot capture. 3. Check dreams/ for experiment results — dreams/index.md lists autonomous exploration experiments. Read reports relevant to your task — they contain verified bug analyses, attempted fixes, and architectural insights. Dreams may contain knowledge not ye
