SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you reliably find the root cause of a software bug and produce a minimal, correct fix with evidence-backed verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Careful debugging workflow (default): guides reproducing the issue, investigating with code and git history, fixing with the smallest change, and verifying via targeted tests and regression checks.
  • Emergency hotfix mode (--fast): creates a hotfix/* branch from production, enforces minimal-change discipline, applies critical-test verification only, and drafts a [HOTFIX] PR for rapid shipping.
  • Safety and confirmation steps: explicitly requires user confirmation for hotfix branching, commit/push intent, and provides warnings when a supposed hotfix becomes complex.

Quick Start

Run debug-fix with the issue or error text, optionally adding --fast if production is broken and you need an emergency hotfix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the root cause of a software bug and apply a minimal fix?▼

To find the root cause of a software bug, you need a debugging workflow that reproduces the issue, investigates code and git history, applies the smallest corrective change, and verifies the fix through targeted tests and build checks.

What is the best way to create an emergency hotfix branch from production?▼

Creating an emergency hotfix branch from production requires a fast mode that explicitly confirms branching intent, enforces minimal-change discipline, applies critical-test verification only, and drafts a tagged pull request for rapid shipping.

How do I verify a bug fix with tests and regression checks?▼

Verifying a bug fix requires running targeted tests and build checks immediately after applying the corrective change. This ensures the original error or stack trace is resolved without introducing new regressions in the codebase.

When should I use a fast hotfix workflow instead of a standard debugging process?▼

Use a fast hotfix workflow when production is actively broken and requires an emergency patch. A standard debugging process is better suited for general codebase errors where full regression checks and comprehensive root cause investigation are needed.

What are the safety guardrails for committing and pushing a hotfix?▼

Safety guardrails for hotfixes include explicit user confirmations before creating branches, committing, and pushing. The workflow also provides warnings if the hotfix becomes too complex, ensuring only minimal corrective changes are applied.
