SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a systematic, research-first approach to debugging, preventing wasted time on trial-and-error and ensuring root causes are identified before fixes are implemented.

Core Features & Use Cases

Research-First Methodology: Emphasizes documentation review and understanding before coding solutions.
Agent Delegation: Leverages specialized Researcher, Debugger, and Test Runner agents for efficient problem-solving.
Quality Gates: Integrates automated testing and linting to ensure code quality.
Use Case: When encountering an unfamiliar error message, this skill guides you to research documentation and use debugging agents to find the root cause, rather than making random code changes.

Quick Start

Use the debugging workflow skill to research the root cause of a failing test.

FAQPage Schema

What is a research-first debugging workflow?▼

A research-first debugging workflow emphasizes reviewing documentation and understanding root causes before writing code fixes. It prevents wasted time on trial-and-error by enforcing systematic diagnosis to address issues like import errors and test regressions.

How do I troubleshoot failing tests without trial and error?▼

To troubleshoot failing tests without trial and error, delegate the task to specialized Researcher, Debugger, and Test Runner agents. This agent-based problem-solving methodology systematically diagnoses the root cause before implementing fixes.

Can I use agent-based debugging for import errors and hook failures?▼

Yes, you can use agent-based debugging for import errors and hook failures. The workflow guides you through systematic diagnosis using specialized agents to identify the exact root cause of these issues before applying solutions.

What is the best way to debug unfamiliar software errors?▼

The best way to debug unfamiliar software errors is following a research-first principle. Instead of making random code changes, research documentation and use debugging agents to find the root cause, ensuring quality gates validate the fix.

How do I enforce quality gates during a debugging workflow?▼

You enforce quality gates during a debugging workflow by integrating automated testing and linting after diagnosing the root cause. This ensures code quality is maintained before and after the fix is implemented.
