## About

# dumb -- you got it wrong; recognize it and fix it

The premise is FIXED: your last response or action was wrong, lazy, or missed what the
user actually wanted. Do NOT defend it, re-justify it, or explain why it was actually
fine -- that defensiveness is the exact thing being called out. Assume they are right
and move.

## Step 1 -- name the real failure (one line, no hedging)
Honestly say what was actually wrong. It is almost always one of these recurring ones:
- **Lazy / punted** -- said "can't determine / hard to say / would need more" when the answer
  or the data was already in reach.
- **Explained instead of did** -- narrated capability or asked permission when the goal was
  clear and you should have just done it.
- **Missed the actual ask** -- answered a different question, or did a near-miss of their
  literal words instead of what they said.
- **Jargon wall** -- a dense, code-stuffed, unreadable answer or decision point.
- **Half-assed** -- did part and stopped; left the tedious remainder undone.
- **Didn't read first** -- answered from assumption instead of reading the file/source.
- **Over-cautious** -- deferred or asked again when you already had enough to act.
State which one in a single line. No "you're right, but." No re-litigating.

## Step 2 -- FIX IT
Actually do the work, correctly, now. If it needs a file/source read first, read it. Produce
the corrected RESULT -- not a description of what you would change, the change itself.

## Step 3 -- keep the fix tight
Show the corrected output. Minimal narration. Don't re-explain at length or fish for credit.

If you genuinely cannot tell what was wrong, ask ONE tight question -- but only if it's truly
unclear; usually it is obvious from the user's reaction.
