SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This capability provides a disciplined, four-phase debugging workflow that eliminates guesswork and promotes evidence-based fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured four-phase process (Reproduce, Isolate, Root Cause, Fix) to converge on reliable resolutions.
  • Guardrails such as a three-attempt rule and documented rationale to prevent endless debugging loops.
  • Works with the spectra CLI across multiple projects to standardize debugging practices and collaboration.

Quick Start

Describe the bug or unexpected behavior after '$spectra-debug' to start the four-phase workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about spectra-debug

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

FAQPage Schema
What is a four-phase evidence-driven debugging workflow?▼

A four-phase debugging workflow systematically resolves software defects through reproduce, isolate, root-cause analysis, and fix steps. It eliminates guesswork by enforcing evidence-based practices and guardrails to ensure reliable fixes.

How do I start debugging a software defect using the spectra CLI?▼

To start debugging a software defect with the spectra CLI, initiate the workflow and describe the bug or unexpected behavior. This triggers the structured four-phase process to guide your resolution.

How do I find the root cause of a bug without endless debugging loops?▼

To find the root cause of a bug without endless loops, use a disciplined debugging workflow with a three-attempt limit. This guardrail enforces documented rationale and evidence-based analysis to prevent unproductive cycling.

Can I use this structured debugging workflow across multiple diverse projects?▼

Yes, you can use this structured debugging workflow across multiple diverse projects. It works with the spectra CLI to standardize debugging practices and collaboration, ensuring consistent defect resolution.

What is the best way to isolate and reproduce a software bug for a reliable fix?▼

The best way to isolate and reproduce a software bug for a reliable fix is following a structured four-phase process. It systematically moves through reproduce, isolate, root-cause analysis, and fix steps to converge on a resolution.
