What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents blind probing when something breaks by forcing a disciplined debugging workflow that identifies the exact failure, the expected behavior, and the true root cause before any fix is attempted.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 4-Phase Debugging Process: Guides investigation through identification, isolation, fixing, and verification so the real issue is understood first.
- Evidence-Driven Analysis: Encourages reproducing failures, tracing execution paths, and confirming hypotheses with logs, tests, or debugger output.
- Safe Fixing Discipline: Promotes minimal changes, test-first validation, and full regression checks to avoid introducing new bugs.
- Use Case: A test suddenly starts failing after a recent change, and this Skill helps you reproduce the failure, locate the divergence point, apply the smallest correct fix, and verify the result end to end.
Quick Start
Use this skill to investigate the failing behavior by reproducing the issue, tracing the execution path, isolating the root cause, and verifying the fix before moving on.
