SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematic debugging with root-cause investigation; Four phases: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement; Iron Law: no fixes without root cause. Proactively suggest when the user reports errors, unexpected behavior, or is troubleshooting why something stopped working.

Core Features & Use Cases

Four-phase debugging workflow: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement.
Proactive guidance and safety checks to collect evidence, hypothesize root causes, and validate fixes before changes.
Use cases include debugging crashes, performance regressions, and configuration issues across software systems.

Quick Start

Describe the issue and let the four-phase workflow identify the root cause.

FAQPage Schema

How do I systematically find the root cause of a software bug?▼

Systematic root-cause debugging requires a structured workflow to investigate, analyze, hypothesize, and implement fixes. This approach enforces an iron law of no fixes without a validated root cause, using interactive prompts to collect evidence before applying changes.

What is the best way to troubleshoot unexpected crashes in deployment pipelines?▼

Troubleshooting deployment pipeline crashes benefits from a four-phase investigation workflow that proactively guides you through evidence collection and root-cause validation. It ensures you analyze the issue and hypothesize root causes safely before implementing any fixes.

Can I use a structured debugging workflow for performance regressions and configuration issues?▼

A structured debugging workflow can be applied directly to performance regressions, configuration issues, and unexpected behavior across software systems. It guides you through issue triage to identify why something stopped working before applying changes.

Why should I not apply a code fix before finding the root cause of an error?▼

Applying a fix without root-cause analysis often leads to recurring errors. This debugging approach implements safety checks that require you to investigate, analyze, and validate a hypothesized root cause interactively before implementing any code changes.

How do I start debugging when I just know something is broken?▼

To start debugging when something is broken, describe the issue or error to trigger a guided investigation. The workflow then prompts you with interactive questions to collect necessary evidence, moving sequentially through analysis and hypothesis phases.
