SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematic debugging with root cause investigation to identify and fix defects efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-phase process: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement to systematically uncover root causes.
  • Integrated with common developer tools (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion) to gather evidence and test hypotheses.
  • Use Case: You encounter an elusive bug; this guide helps you reproduce, narrow down, and verify a fix with auditable steps.

Quick Start

Tell me the error or symptom you see, and I will start the four-phase investigation to identify root cause.

Frequently Asked Questions about investigate

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the root cause of an elusive bug across different modules?▼

Root cause debugging requires a structured investigation that gathers evidence from logs, narrows down suspect code paths, and verifies hypotheses to ensure reproducibility and actionable remediation across affected modules.

What is the best way to debug flaky tests and runtime errors systematically?▼

Systematic debugging of flaky tests involves a four-phase process: investigate symptoms, analyze gathered evidence, hypothesize the root cause, and implement a verified fix with auditable, traceable steps.

How do I perform structured log analysis to trace a code defect?▼

Structured log analysis for tracing code defects involves using tools like Bash and Grep to query logs, extract relevant error patterns, and document evidence linking runtime symptoms to the faulty module.

Can I use web search to find root causes for unfamiliar runtime errors?▼

Yes, you can use web search to investigate unfamiliar runtime errors by querying exact error messages to gather external evidence and form hypotheses for your investigation.

When should I use a structured investigation process for bug tracing?▼

Use a structured investigation process for bug tracing when encountering elusive defects that require reproducibility, traceable evidence, and actionable remediation guidance across multiple repos or services.
