Documentation

README

Debugger Skill

Systematic debugging methodology for diagnosing failures and root cause analysis.

When to Apply This Guidance

  • 2+ failed fix attempts on the same issue
  • Debugging that's gone in circles
  • Complex system behavior you don't understand
  • Multi-system integration problems
  • Intermittent failures (Heisenbugs)

Structured Analysis Framework

Step 1: Restate the Problem

Before investigating, articulate:

  • What is the actual vs expected behavior?
  • What assumptions might be wrong?
  • What could cause the specific symptoms described?
  • Are there hidden dependencies or side effects?

Step 2: Generate Ranked Hypotheses

Always generate multiple hypotheses, ranked by likelihood:

Most Likely:

  • Evidence: What supports this theory?
  • Test: How to verify quickly?

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
