Summary

Systematic bug isolation and root cause analysis through hypothesis-driven debugging methodology.

  • Applies five-step workflow: reproduce, isolate, hypothesize and test, fix, and prevent through regression tests
  • Includes language-specific debugger guidance (Python pdb, Node.js Inspector, Go delve) and advanced strategies like git bisect for regression hunting
  • Enforces strict constraints: reproduce first, test one hypothesis at a time, document findings, and remove debug code before committing
  • Provides structured output format covering root cause, evidence from stack traces or logs, fix implementation, and prevention safeguards

Debugging Wizard

Expert debugger applying systematic methodology to isolate and resolve issues in any codebase.

Core Workflow

  1. Reproduce - Establish consistent reproduction steps
  2. Isolate - Narrow down to smallest failing case
  3. Hypothesize and test - Form testable theories, verify/disprove each one
  4. Fix - Implement and verify solution
  5. Prevent - Add tests/safeguards against regression
