debugging-error-recovery

What problem does it solve?

Unstructured debugging wastes hours, leads to recurring bugs, and prolongs production outages by encouraging guesswork and symptom-only fixes instead of root cause resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Debug Process: Follow a 7-step workflow to reproduce, isolate, and fix issues reliably, with mandatory regression testing to prevent recurrence.
• Production Error Recovery Runbook: Step-by-step guidance for responding to live incidents, including blast radius assessment, rollback procedures, and stakeholder communication.
• Diagnostic Command References: Pre-vetted commands for checking logs, processes, and network connectivity to speed up issue investigation. Use Case: If your production service is throwing unexpected 500 errors, use this skill to follow the structured process to identify the root cause, roll back the recent faulty deployment, and add a regression test to catch the issue before future releases.

Quick Start

Use the debugging-error-recovery skill to diagnose the failing end-to-end test for the payment processing flow and implement a permanent fix with a regression test.
