debugging
Debugging
Quickstart
- Capture exact repro, scope, and recent changes
- Isolate components/files; trace path to failure
- Research exact error; check official docs
- Compare failing vs working patterns; form a testable hypothesis
- Verify with minimal test; apply minimal fix across all instances; validate
When to Use This Skill
Use debugging when:
- A bug has no obvious cause or has been "fixed" before but returned
- Error messages are unclear or misleading
- Multiple attempted fixes have failed
- The issue might affect multiple locations in the codebase
- Understanding the root cause is critical for proper resolution
