SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hours of manual trial-and-error required to debug tricky terminal rendering issues in the Kollab terminal AI workspace, such as duplicate input prompts, stale content after resizing, flickering, and message display failures that are difficult to trace in a complex CLI codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured 5-Phase Diagnostic Workflow: Guides you through inspecting renderer state, message coordinator logic, buffer management, layout systems, and specific issue root causes in a logical, step-by-step order.
  • Pre-Built Debugging Commands: Provides targeted grep patterns and runtime log inspection commands to quickly locate problematic code without manual searching through the codebase.
  • Use Case: For example, if you see two input prompts appear after closing a modal in Kollab, this skill walks you through checking the relevant state flags and buffer transition calls to identify the missing reset in minutes instead of hours.

Quick Start

Use this skill to diagnose and fix the duplicate input box bug that appears after closing modals in your Kollab terminal workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix duplicate input prompts appearing after closing a modal in a terminal?

You fix duplicate terminal input prompts by inspecting alternate buffer transition calls and message coordinator state flags for missing resets. A structured diagnostic workflow uses targeted grep patterns and runtime log inspection to identify the root cause without manual trial-and-error.

Why does my terminal display stale content after resizing the window?

Stale terminal content after resizing happens when render cache invalidation fails to trigger layout recalculation. Diagnose this by inspecting layout systems and buffer management through runtime log checks and state snapshot checks to pinpoint the invalidation failure.

What causes terminal render loop flickering and message display race conditions?

Render loop flickering and message display race conditions stem from conflicting message coordinator logic and active render loops. You identify the root cause by inspecting renderer state and runtime logs to trace conflicting state flags and buffer management errors.

What is the best way to debug terminal rendering issues without manual trial-and-error?

The best way to debug terminal rendering issues is using a structured 5-phase diagnostic workflow. This approach inspects renderer state, message coordinator logic, buffer management, and layout systems using pre-built grep patterns and state snapshot checks to pinpoint root causes efficiently.

How do I trace alternate buffer transition errors causing display issues in a CLI?

You trace alternate buffer transition errors by applying targeted grep patterns to locate problematic buffer transition calls in your CLI codebase. Runtime log inspection and state snapshot checks then reveal the exact layout calculation errors causing the display issues.

Are there limitations to using a structured workflow for diagnosing modal bugs and render cache issues?

A structured diagnostic workflow for modal bugs and render cache issues depends on accurate runtime log inspection and state snapshot checks. Limitations arise if the CLI codebase lacks clear state flag instrumentation or if layout calculation errors occur outside the active render loops.
