SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a four-phase, root-cause–driven debugging process to stop symptom fixes and prevent regression under pressure.

Core Features & Use Cases

Four Phases: Phase 1 (Root Cause Investigation), Phase 2 (Pattern Analysis), Phase 3 (Hypothesis & Testing), Phase 4 (Implementation).
Anti-Patterns & Guardrails: Explicit guidance to avoid shortcuts and shotgun fixes.
Defense-in-Depth: Encourages adding validations across multiple layers to prevent recurrence.
Use Case: When debugging a complex failure, follow the structured phases to identify root cause and implement robust defenses.

Quick Start

Begin with Phase 1: read errors, reproduce, review changes, and gather evidence before proposing fixes.
