Debug Skill

When to use this skill

  • runtime errors, flaky tests, wrong outputs
  • “it used to work” regressions
  • performance or timeout problems (initial triage)

Debug workflow (do not skip steps)

  1. Reproduce
    • Capture exact error, inputs, environment, command.
  2. Minimize
    • Reduce to smallest repro (one file, one function, smallest dataset).
  3. Hypotheses (2–5)
    • Rank by likelihood.
  4. Instrument
    • Add temporary logging/assertions or use existing diagnostics.
  5. Fix
    • Smallest change that removes root cause.
  6. Prevent
    • Add regression test or permanent guard/validation.
  7. Verify
    • Run the failing case + relevant suites.

Reporting format
