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.
