What problem does it solve?

Diagnose bugs and unexpected behavior in software by applying a structured debugging workflow instead of ad-hoc code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reproduce the bug with the smallest possible input to minimize surface area.
  • Isolate — narrow down which component or function is responsible.
  • Hypothesize — form a specific, falsifiable hypothesis about the root cause.
  • Test — verify or disprove the hypothesis with a minimal experiment.
  • Fix — implement a root-cause correction, not just a patch.
  • Verify — re-run failing tests and related tests to confirm resolution. Useful tools: print/logging, pdb/ipdb, unit tests, git bisect. Anti-patterns:
  • Changing multiple things at once and not knowing what fixed it.
  • Ignoring related test failures.
  • Commenting out code instead of understanding it.

Quick Start

Provide a minimal failing example and reproduction steps, then instruct the AI to apply the debugging workflow.
