rcode-debug

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents guesswork debugging by enforcing a root-cause-first workflow, so you can identify why software is failing before proposing any fix.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reproduction First: Captures exact steps and observed behavior before any implementation changes are considered.
• Evidence-Driven Investigation: Traces errors through logs, diffs, configuration, data flow, and multi-component boundaries to isolate the failing layer.
• Hypothesis Testing: Requires one falsifiable hypothesis at a time, a minimal experiment, and a recorded observation to confirm or refute the cause.
• Safe Implementation: Converts the diagnosis into a minimal fix with a regression test, and escalates after repeated failed attempts.
• Use Case: Ideal for breaking down stubborn bugs in APIs, frontends, CI pipelines, database flows, and other systems where symptoms are misleading.

Quick Start

Use rcode-debug to investigate this failing behavior, reproduce it, trace the root cause, and report the evidence before suggesting any fix.
