Systematic Debugging

Acerca de

The Systematic Debugging skill provides a comprehensive methodology for resolving software issues by moving beyond symptomatic 'quick fixes.' It guides users through a structured process—Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation—while incorporating backward call stack tracing and defense-in-depth validation. By enforcing strict verification protocols and preventing premature completion claims, this skill ensures that bugs are resolved at their source and that resulting fixes are thoroughly validated against potential regressions across all application layers.

Características Principales

• Backward call stack tracing to identify the original source of invalid data
• Strict verification protocols requiring fresh evidence before completion claims
• Four-phase systematic investigation framework to prevent trial-and-error fixes
• Defense-in-depth validation layers including entry and environment guards
• Automated scripts for detecting and bisecting test pollution
• 1 GitHub stars

Casos de Uso

• Tracing data corruption issues back to the original trigger in deep call stacks
• Implementing comprehensive validation layers to prevent recurring bugs in production
• Resolving complex test failures or build errors that resist obvious solutions
