What problem does it solve?
This skill solves the problem of "incident noise" where engineers waste time guessing the cause of a system failure. It provides a structured, evidence-based method to isolate the failing layer in a complex stack before any diagnostic or remediation work begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Layer Localization: Systematically excludes healthy layers (DNS, Network, TLS, Ingress, etc.) using the cheapest discriminating checks first.
- Explicit Handoff: Once the failure is localized, it routes the incident to the specific domain skill (e.g., networking, databases, kubernetes) responsible for that layer.
- Use Case: When a service reports 502 errors, use this skill to determine if the issue is a misconfigured ingress, a dead backend pod, or a network routing failure, preventing unnecessary deep dives into the wrong component.
Quick Start
Use the debug-triage skill to analyze the current incident and identify the failing layer based on the provided symptoms.
