What problem does it solve?
Helps you systematically debug bugs and failures by turning ambiguous errors into a clear root cause and a minimal, verified fix.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 6-Step Debug Workflow: Capture evidence, isolate scope, form hypotheses, test with proof, apply the smallest fix, and verify the outcome to prevent regressions.
- Evidence-First Diagnosis: Uses log inspection, error pattern detection, and cross-system correlation (including request_id and time windows) to avoid guessing.
- Debug Report Output: Produces a structured report with Issue, Root Cause, Evidence, Fix, Verification, and Prevention—ideal for commit messages and postmortems.
- Use Cases: Debugging test failures, production anomalies (error spikes), application crashes (stack traces), timeout and connection errors, and resource issues like OOM.
Quick Start
Use the debug skill to analyze the failing stack trace, search the relevant logs for error patterns, propose 2-3 hypotheses, validate them with targeted commands, then produce a Debug Report with root cause, minimal fix, and verification steps.
