What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps diagnose errors, crashes, regressions, and broken behavior by finding the root cause before any fix is applied. It is designed for situations where something used to work, now fails, or behaves differently than expected.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Root-cause analysis first: Requires a specific, testable hypothesis before touching code.
- Evidence-driven debugging: Emphasizes repro steps, logs, source trace, runtime state, and targeted verification.
- Regression and failure recovery: Handles failing tests, screenshot-reported defects, stale cache issues, and timing-sensitive bugs.
- Scope control: Prevents symptom-level patches, encourages blast-radius checks, and surfaces when to hand off after repeated failed hypotheses.
Quick Start
Use the hunt skill to reproduce the failure, identify the root cause in one sentence, and verify the fix with a targeted check before making changes.
