SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill guides free-form bug investigation to identify root cause, triage severity, and determine the appropriate outcome (direct fix, plan, or backlog item) for target codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Free-form bug investigation with adaptive methodology tailored to the symptom
  • Root-cause identification, triage messaging, and outcome production (fix, plan, or backlog)
  • Generates structured investigation reports and plans to feed into the Gromit pipeline

Quick Start

Describe the bug and I will begin a free-form investigation to identify root cause and recommended outcomes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate a bug to find its root cause in a codebase?

Bug investigation identifies the root cause of codebase issues through structured, free-form analysis. It adapts its methodology based on the specific symptom, tracing failures back to their origin for accurate triage and resolution.

What is the best way to triage bug reports and failing tests?

Triage bug reports by analyzing the symptoms to determine severity and the appropriate outcome. The process evaluates whether an issue requires a direct fix, a detailed implementation plan, or placement in the backlog.

Can I generate an implementation plan after debugging a failing test?

Yes, bug investigation supports generating structured implementation plans after identifying the root cause. These plans feed directly into the Gromit pipeline to drive downstream development actions and resolutions.

How do I start a debugging session from an error message?

Describe the bug or error message to begin a free-form investigation. The process automatically structures the debugging session, analyzing the symptom to identify the root cause and recommend outcomes.

Does bug triage work without a specific testing framework?

Yes, free-form bug investigation adapts to the described symptom rather than relying on specific testing frameworks. It processes bug reports, failing tests, and error messages directly within Claude Code workflows.
