Debugging Skill

[TEST-PLUGIN-SKILL: debugging]

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User reports an error or exception
  • Code produces unexpected output
  • Tests are failing
  • Performance issues need investigation

Systematic Debugging Process

  1. Reproduce the Issue

    • Get exact error message
    • Identify minimal reproduction steps

  2. Gather Information

    • Check stack trace
    • Review recent changes
    • Check logs

  3. Form Hypothesis

    • What could cause this behavior?
    • What assumptions might be wrong?

  4. Test Hypothesis

    • Add logging/print statements
    • Use debugger breakpoints
    • Write minimal test case

  5. Fix and Verify

    • Make minimal change
    • Run tests
    • Confirm fix doesn't break other things
