Error Detective - Systematic Debugging and Error Resolution

Overview

Error Detective is a comprehensive debugging skill that applies systematic methodologies to identify, analyze, and resolve errors efficiently. Using the TRACE framework and structured analysis techniques, this skill guides you through debugging from initial error discovery to verified resolution.

Core Capabilities

Stack Trace Analysis

• Parse and interpret stack traces across multiple languages
• Identify root cause vs. symptom errors
• Extract relevant file paths and line numbers
• Understand call chains and error propagation

Error Pattern Recognition

• Categorize errors by type (syntax, runtime, logic, integration)
• Identify common error patterns and anti-patterns
• Recognize framework-specific errors
• Map errors to likely root causes
