SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Debugging software issues and generating structured root-cause analyses to guide fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic debugging: apply root-cause analysis to identify underlying issues.
  • Debug session generation: create and manage a dedicated debug session file with context and observations.
  • Fix planning: produce actionable repair plans and optional FIX-PLAN.md for complex problems.
  • Orchestrated tooling: coordinates with the gsd-debugger subagent to test hypotheses and validate fixes.

Quick Start

Describe the issue in detail to initiate a debugging session and let GSD compute a root-cause and fix plan.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform root-cause analysis for software issues across a codebase?▼

Root-cause analysis for software issues is performed by generating a dedicated debug session that records context and observations to systematically identify underlying problems. This Skill orchestrates debugging by coordinating with a subagent to test hypotheses and validate fixes.

What's the best way to create an actionable fix plan for complex debugging problems?▼

Creating an actionable fix plan for complex debugging problems involves producing structured repair documentation from your root-cause analysis. This Skill can generate an optional FIX-PLAN.md file alongside debug session notes to guide systematic resolution.

Can I use this to debug CI pipelines and deployment environments, or is it only for local codebases?▼

Debugging CI pipelines and deployment environments is fully supported alongside local codebase troubleshooting. This Skill applies systematic root-cause analysis across all software environments to diagnose issues and produce structured fix plans.

How do I start a debugging session when I encounter an unexpected software issue?▼

Starting a debugging session requires describing the software issue in detail to initiate the process. This Skill then computes a root-cause analysis and generates an actionable fix plan, creating a debug session file to track observations and context.

Why does my software issue need a structured debug session instead of just reading error logs?▼

A structured debug session is needed because it systematically records context and observations to guide root-cause identification, rather than relying on manual log inspection. This approach validates hypotheses through orchestrated tooling to produce reliable fix plans.
