System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams avoid guesswork by guiding engineers through a formal, four-phase debugging process to identify and fix root causes rather than symptoms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four Phases: Root Cause Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis & Testing, and Implementation with mandatory progression.
  • Defense-in-Depth: Encourages multi-layer validation to prevent regression and data issues.
  • Context & References: Includes reference materials like root-cause-tracing and defense-in-depth guides to support engineers during debugging.
  • Usage Scenarios: Useful for on-call incidents, CI failures, flaky tests, and complex system bugs.

Quick Start

Use this skill when you face any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior. Load the SKILL.md, read the overview, perform Phase 1 before proposing fixes, and reference the supplemental materials as needed.
