Pest & Problem Diagnosis
Turn 'something is wrong with the tomatoes' into a ranked differential: the likely culprits with the evidence for each, the gentlest treatment first, what to watch to confirm the diagnosis, and when to call in a professional — a garden clinic visit without the guesswork. Locks the diagnostic criteria FIRST, then builds the differential from the symptom notes and the plantings, then writes the treatment and monitoring plan. Use for garden pest problems, plant disease diagnosis, 'what is eating my plants', and sick-plant triage.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the diagnosis | Developer | symptoms and plantings gathered, diagnostic criteria locked |
| 2 | Build the differential | Researcher | ranked candidates with evidence for and against each |
| 3 | Write the treatment plan | Copywriter | treatment ladder, monitoring plan, escalation line |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
