SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Diagnoses software errors and stabilizes malfunctioning systems by orchestrating symptom collection, root-cause analysis, and corrective implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates multi-agent debugging: explorer, planner, implementer, reviewer to diagnose, implement, and verify fixes.
  • Supports issue triage using symptom input and error messages to derive a fix plan and track progress.
  • Suitable for regression and post-deployment incident debugging in CI/CD pipelines.

Quick Start

Describe the issue and error messages, then say /debug to start the diagnostic workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose root-cause software errors and stabilize malfunctioning systems?

Diagnosing root-cause software errors involves orchestrating structured symptom collection, root-cause analysis, and corrective implementation. This workflow stabilizes malfunctioning systems by taking issue descriptions and error messages to derive a tracked fix plan.

What's the best way to debug crashes and error messages reported in a CI/CD pipeline?

Debugging crashes and error messages in a CI/CD pipeline is supported through regression and post-deployment incident debugging. You provide the reported issue symptoms, and the system applies a structured diagnostic workflow to stabilize the deployment.

How does guided debugging work for diagnosing software incidents?

Guided debugging works by orchestrating multi-agent phases—exploration, planning, implementation, and review—to investigate symptoms and apply corrections. It generates explicit artifacts written to the working directory to track diagnostic progress and verify fixes.

Do I need to provide error messages to start the root-cause analysis workflow?

Yes, you need to provide error messages and symptom details to start the root-cause analysis workflow. These issue inputs are required to guide the investigation, triage the malfunction, and derive a corrective implementation plan.

Can I use this debugging workflow for post-deployment incident response and regression triage?

Yes, you can use this debugging workflow for post-deployment incident response and regression triage. It supports stabilizing malfunctioning systems by tracking progress from initial symptom collection through corrective implementation and review.

Why is my software debugging process failing to track progress across complex incidents?

Your software debugging process may fail to track progress if it lacks structured artifacts for exploration, planning, implementation, and review. Writing these explicit artifacts to the working directory ensures robust workflow management and supports handoff management for complex incidents.
