What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps diagnose and resolve failed Render deployments by turning logs, metrics, and database state into actionable root causes and targeted fixes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deployment triage: Detects why services fail to start or crash using Render MCP tools (with CLI fallback).
- Log pattern diagnosis: Maps common failure signatures such as missing env vars, port binding problems, OOM, and health-check timeouts to likely causes.
- Metrics + database investigation: Correlates performance/resource issues and database connection/query problems, including direct Postgres queries for deeper diagnosis.
- Fix-and-verify loop: Applies environment variable updates (via MCP) or guides code/config changes, then validates with deploy status, new logs, and updated metrics.
Quick Start
Use the render-debug skill to analyze a failing service on Render by running the MCP workflow to list failed services, pull relevant build/runtime logs, and then confirm the fix with a new deploy status and error-log check.
