SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers rapidly find the root cause of Compact smart contract failures by orchestrating a disciplined debugging flow instead of guessing fixes, reducing wasted effort and preventing cascading errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Symptom-driven triage: Map compiler messages, disclosure warnings, witness mismatches, and runtime failures to focused investigation paths and domain skills.
  • Process orchestration and verification: Run mechanical verification, form hypotheses, track fix attempts, and enforce escalation rules to avoid unsafe patching.
  • Compatibility and escalation checks: Detect environment or version incompatibilities, recommend automated diagnostics, and surface architectural concerns when fixes repeatedly fail.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to diagnose my Compact contract compilation or proof generation error, perform triage, and provide a root cause analysis with suggested fixes and verification steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Compact smart contract compiler failures and witness type mismatches?

Debug Compact smart contract compiler failures by using symptom-driven triage to map witness type mismatches and disclosure errors to focused investigation paths, systematically isolating the root cause. This orchestrates a disciplined debugging flow to prevent guessing fixes and cascading errors.

What is the best way to triage Compact contract errors during proof generation?

The best way to triage Compact contract errors during proof generation is through a process that maps runtime failures and compatibility problems to domain-specific skills. It coordinates mechanical verification to form hypotheses and tracks fix attempts with enforced escalation rules.

Why does my Compact contract deployment fail with compatibility problems?

Compact contract deployment compatibility problems often stem from environment or version incompatibilities. Systematic debugging detects these mismatches, recommends automated diagnostics, and surfaces architectural concerns when initial fix attempts repeatedly fail.

How do I fix Compact contract disclosure errors without causing cascading issues?

Fix Compact contract disclosure errors by running mechanical verification and forming tracked hypotheses instead of applying unsafe patches. This debugging process enforces escalation criteria to prevent cascading errors and reduce wasted development effort.

Can I use systematic debugging for Compact contract runtime failures and testing errors?

Yes, you can use systematic debugging for Compact contract runtime failures during development and testing. The triage process orchestrates targeted investigation paths, coordinates verification, and tracks fix attempts to ensure safe and rapid root cause analysis.

When should I escalate failed Compact contract fix attempts instead of patching?

You should escalate failed Compact contract fix attempts when the debugging process detects repeated failures or version incompatibilities. The triage flow enforces specific escalation criteria to surface architectural concerns and prevent unsafe patching.
