SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps engineers systematically diagnose and fix bugs by turning scattered error signals into an actionable investigation trail, then validating the fix.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Error correlation and root-cause debugging to identify the underlying cause.
  • Structured Investigate → Diagnose → Fix → Validate cycle that guides each issue to closure.
  • Phase gates and Git-to-main workflow expectations to keep work auditable and safe.

Quick Start

Describe the bug and let the cycle guide you through Investigate → Diagnose → Fix → Validate.

Frequently Asked Questions about smart-fix

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I systematically debug Rails runtime errors and stack traces?▼

You can diagnose failing specs and runtime errors by applying a structured Investigate, Diagnose, Fix, and Validate cycle. This approach correlates stack traces and logs to pinpoint root causes and test fixes against regression baselines.

What is the best way to find the root cause of a software bug from scattered logs?▼

Finding a root cause from scattered logs requires error correlation to connect related signals into a single actionable trail. This skill automates that correlation process, tracing symptoms back to the underlying issue before guiding a validated fix.

How do I ensure my bug fixes are traceable and testable in a Rails project?▼

Ensuring traceable and testable bug fixes involves using gated investigation phases and Git-to-main workflow expectations. This skill enforces these gates throughout the debugging cycle to keep work auditable and validate fixes against regression baselines.

Can I use structured debugging to investigate failing specs and user flow errors?▼

Yes, structured debugging applies to failing specs, user flows, and runtime errors. The skill guides each issue through a diagnostic cycle that correlates stack traces and test failures to diagnose the root cause and validate the correction.

Why should I use a gated workflow for error correction instead of fixing bugs directly?▼

Using a gated workflow for error correction ensures fixes remain auditable and safe by validating changes against regression baselines. It prevents unresolved issues from progressing past the Investigate, Diagnose, Fix, and Validate phases without proper closure.
