SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically identify root causes of bugs and guide fixes by tracing the full causal chain from trigger to symptom.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured debugging workflow with phased approach (Triage, Investigate, Root Cause, Fix, Handoff).
Guidance for reproducing issues from trackers (GitHub, Linear, Jira) and handling user prompts like "debug this".
Evidence-driven decisions with safe one-change-at-a-time fixes and clear handoffs.

Quick Start

Describe the bug and provide any error traces to start Phase 1 of the investigation.

FAQPage Schema

What is a systematic root-cause debugging workflow?▼

Systematic root-cause debugging identifies bug origins by enforcing a phased workflow of Triage, Investigate, Root Cause, Fix, and Handoff, tracing the full causal chain from trigger to symptom with evidence collection and test-first remediation.

How do I debug issues reproduced from GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue trackers?▼

Debug issues from GitHub, Linear, or Jira by feeding issue reproductions into a phased workflow that triages the problem, investigates evidence, identifies the root cause, and applies a test-first fix before handoff.

How do I start investigating a test failure or error trace?▼

Start investigating a test failure by providing the error trace and bug description to initiate Phase 1 Triage, which collects evidence to systematically trace the causal chain and identify the root cause for a test-first fix.

What is the best way to ensure safe bug fixes during code investigation?▼

Ensure safe bug fixes by enforcing a test-first remediation workflow that applies one change at a time, using collected evidence to verify the root cause before completing a structured handoff.

Does root-cause debugging work without external dependencies or components?▼

Root-cause debugging works without external dependencies or components, relying entirely on its internal advanced reasoning to enforce an evidence-driven, phased workflow for tracing and fixing errors.
