SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Applies a rigorous, phased debugging approach based on a modified Fagan Inspection to resolve stubborn bugs that have resisted prior fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase 1: Initial Overview to state problem, expected vs actual behavior, and symptoms.
Phase 2: Systematic Inspection with defect categorization (logic, boundary, error handling, data flow, integration).
Phase 3: Root Cause Analysis using Five Whys.
Phase 4: Solution & Verification with a structured fix plan and verification steps.

Quick Start

Describe the bug to the skill and allow it to generate a four-phase inspection and remediation plan. The actual fixes require your approval before applying.
