What problem does it solve?

This Skill offers a structured approach to debugging, guiding users through the process of identifying and resolving the root cause of issues like test failures, broken builds, and unexpected errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Systematic Triage: Walks users through reproducing, localizing, and reducing errors to their core cause.
• Stop-the-Line Rule: Encourages halting further development when errors are encountered, ensuring they are addressed before they compound.
• Error-Specific Guidance: Provides detailed triage checklists for common error types such as test failures, build issues, and runtime bugs.
• Minimal Reproduction: Helps create the smallest example that still reproduces the issue, aiding in effective root cause analysis.

Quick Start

Use the m-debugging-and-error-recovery skill to start debugging a test failure by running 'm-debugging-and-error-recovery start reproduce --test "failing-test-file"'.
