What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps engineers and reviewers resolve blockers by guiding a root-cause-first investigation when builds, tests, validations, or reviewer feedback repeatedly fail and guess-first fixes are producing no convergence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-driven triage: Systematically gather error text, stack traces, failing commands, and git diffs to avoid premature patching.
- Repository and runtime inspection: Check package manifests, build and runtime configs, dependency versions, and changed files to locate environmental or configuration gaps.
- Targeted research and classification: Use focused web searches and documentation to classify the failure (e.g., MISSING_DEPENDENCY, RUNTIME_MISMATCH) and produce a minimal, verifiable fix plan.
Quick Start
Use kiro-debug with an exact failure summary, error output, git diff, and task brief to produce a concise root-cause report with a fix plan and verification steps.
