SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates methodical root-cause debugging to stop chasing symptoms and fix real issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured four-phase workflow: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement.
  • Proactive guidance for tracing errors, gathering evidence, and validating fixes.
  • Works across projects and repositories to accelerate troubleshooting.

Quick Start

Describe the error, collect symptoms, reproduce the bug deterministically, and begin root-cause analysis.

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

Root-cause debugging uses a structured four-phase workflow—investigate, analyze, hypothesize, and implement—to trace errors, gather evidence, and fix real issues rather than chasing symptoms. It guides you through collecting data and querying code systematically.

What's the best way to reproduce a bug deterministically before analyzing code?▼

To reproduce a bug deterministically, start by describing the error and collecting symptoms across your repositories. This structured troubleshooting approach then guides you through gathering evidence and querying code to validate the root-cause hypothesis.

Can I use this structured debugging workflow across different codebases and repositories?▼

Yes, this root-cause debugging workflow applies across projects and repositories. It orchestrates Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, and WebSearch tools to collect data, query code, and prompt users to accelerate troubleshooting regardless of the codebase.

How does a structured troubleshooting approach help fix software bugs?▼

Structured troubleshooting automates methodical root-cause debugging by guiding you through collect-symptoms, reproduce, analyze, hypothesize, and implement phases. It proactively traces errors, gathers evidence, and validates fixes to stop symptom-chasing and resolve real issues.

What do I need to start end-to-end debugging and tracing errors in my project?▼

To start end-to-end debugging, describe the error and collect symptoms to reproduce the bug deterministically. The workflow then orchestrates file reading, code searching, and web searching to gather evidence and guide your root-cause analysis.
