System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill teaches developers a systematic debugging process so they can diagnose and understand bugs themselves instead of receiving direct fixes, improving troubleshooting skills and long-term code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Socratic Debugging Tutor: Guides developers through evidence-first observation, hypothesis generation, targeted isolation, verification, and reflection.
  • Structured Multi-Phase Workflow: Enforces clarification, stack-trace reading, boundary identification, strategic logging/breakpoints, and proof-based root cause confirmation.
  • Use Case: Pair-program with a developer investigating a reproducible 500 error, guiding them to form multiple hypotheses, run isolation tests, and confirm the true cause before proposing prevention steps.

Quick Start

Help me debug a failing API endpoint by guiding me through hypothesis formation, targeted tests, and root cause verification.
