SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted effort by guiding systematic root cause investigation instead of jumping straight to guesses or quick patches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Root-cause-first debugging: Forces the workflow into investigate, analyze, hypothesize, then implement, following the Iron Law: no fixes without root cause.
  • Error- and behavior-driven triggering: Designed for “debug this”, “fix this bug”, “why is this broken”, “investigate this error”, and root cause analysis requests.
  • Repo-aware context gathering: Leverages prior investigations and recent learnings to avoid repeating known pitfalls.

Quick Start

Use the gstack-investigate skill when you see unexpected behavior, a failing build, or an error message that needs root cause analysis by asking it to investigate the reported issue step by step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the root cause of a bug instead of just patching symptoms?

Root cause analysis prevents wasted effort by enforcing a staged workflow: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, then implement. This systematic approach ensures fixes are grounded in evidence rather than quick guesses.

What is the best way to debug a 500 error or unexpected software behavior?

Debugging unexpected behavior requires error- and behavior-driven triggering to initiate a root cause investigation. The process analyzes stack traces and failure context step by step to identify the actual source of the problem.

How do I conduct a systematic root cause investigation for a failing build?

Systematic root cause investigation follows a staged workflow that gathers repo-aware context and prior learnings. It enforces the Iron Law: no fixes are implemented without identified root cause evidence.

Can I use this approach to investigate why a specific feature stopped working?

Yes, investigating why a feature stopped working is triggered by requests to debug, fix, or explain unexpected behavior. The workflow leverages prior investigations and recent learnings to avoid repeating known pitfalls.

Does this debugging method work without adding new dependencies?

Yes, this root cause investigation workflow operates without requiring additional dependencies or components. It relies entirely on analyzing existing repo context, stack traces, and error reports to hypothesize and implement fixes.
