What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured, automated approach to debugging code, helping Copilot and VS Code users diagnose and fix issues efficiently through a repeatable workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic Debugging: Follows a 6-step loop (Plan, Analyze, Design, Execute, Verify, Document) to resolve problems.
- Multi-round Iterations: Supports progressive debugging for complex, multi-module projects.
- Human Confirmation: Pauses at key points for user validation and decision making.
- Bug & Knowledge Capture: Records debugging steps to build a reusable knowledge base.
- Use Case: When a project exhibits an error, performance issue, or misconfiguration, trigger this skill to guide end-to-end debugging.
Quick Start
Use the debug-code skill in Copilot Chat by describing the issue, e.g., "My program crashes with TypeError, help me debug." Then ensure Agent Skills is enabled in VS Code.
