SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Random fixes and quick patches only mask symptoms, leading to recurring bugs, unstable systems, and wasted time. This skill provides a structured approach to truly solve problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

Four-Phase Framework: Guides through Root Cause Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation.
Evidence-Driven: Mandates gathering diagnostic evidence in multi-component systems before proposing any fixes.
Root Cause Focus: Ensures fixes address the underlying problem, not just the visible symptoms.
Use Case: When a critical production bug causes 500 errors in your auth-service, use this skill to methodically trace the issue, gather evidence across layers, and implement a verified fix.

Quick Start

Use the systematic-debugging skill to investigate why the auth-service is returning 500 errors, starting with careful log analysis.
