SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose broken Claude Desktop and cowork behavior by gathering the right local evidence first, so you can avoid guessing at the cause of an issue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Transcript Review: Pulls the newest local-agent-mode audit trail to see the exact user prompt, tool calls, and any errors the model encountered.
  • Log Collection and Triage: Checks Claude Desktop logs, crash reports, and cowork-svc daemon output to surface permission errors, missing files, protocol drift, and runtime failures.
  • Targeted Troubleshooting: Useful for dispatch problems, cowork failures, profile/path mismatches, and computer-use issues where the root cause depends on local state and recent activity.

Quick Start

Ask the debug skill to collect the newest audit transcript, Claude logs, and cowork-svc output for your issue, then summarize the most likely cause and what extra evidence is still needed.

How do I troubleshoot Claude Desktop crashes and cowork failures?

Diagnose broken Claude Desktop behavior by collecting the newest local-agent-mode audit transcript, relevant logs, and daemon state to identify the exact tool calls and errors the model encountered.

How do I find the root cause of a cowork dispatch or computer use failure?

Pinpoint cowork dispatch and computer use failures by gathering local evidence including the newest session transcript, Claude logs, and cowork-svc daemon state to surface runtime errors and protocol drift.

What logs do I need to diagnose broken Claude Desktop behavior?

To diagnose broken Claude Desktop behavior, collect the newest session transcript, Claude Desktop logs, crash reports, and cowork-svc daemon output to surface permission errors, missing files, protocol drift, and runtime failures.

Can I debug profile or patch-related failures using local session transcripts?

Debug profile and patch-related failures by collecting the newest local-agent-mode session transcript and relevant logs to review exact user prompts, tool calls, and errors that determine the root cause from local state.

What should I do if Claude Desktop logs are incomplete for troubleshooting?

When available data is incomplete during troubleshooting, ask targeted follow-up questions and ensure accurate configuration-path resolution to gather sufficient local evidence for determining the root cause.
