Lesson 9: Getting AI to Read and Investigate Before Coding (Teach This Topic)

This guide helps you teach an investigation-first approach to AI-assisted development. The learner will use a self-contained login scenario, evidence map and investigation report rather than operating an AI agent or changing a repository. They will distinguish symptoms from root causes and follow the sequence inspect → understand → explain → implement. The central message is that convincing code is not evidence of a correct diagnosis.
