Ask Why Until a Goal Becomes Clearer
Use repeated why questions to examine what is behind a goal, then turn the useful insight into a next step. Five questions are a prompt, not a requirement or a guarantee of finding one root cause.
Portable instruction
What the agent should do
Write one goal or problem, ask why it matters, and continue asking why while each answer adds something useful. Stop when the answers become repetitive, speculative, or split into different causes. Then choose one next step or one assumption to check.
Check-in
Did the questions reveal a useful reason, assumption, or constraint, and what will I do or verify next?
