Systematic Debugging Workflow

Acerca de

The Systematic Debugging skill provides a structured methodology for resolving technical issues by mandating a root-cause-first approach. It guides Claude through four critical phases—Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation—to ensure that fixes are permanent and don't introduce regressions. This skill is particularly valuable for complex multi-component systems where data flow is difficult to trace, effectively preventing 'thrashing' by requiring an architectural re-evaluation after three failed fix attempts.

Características Principales

• 0 GitHub stars
• Mandatory failing test case creation before fix implementation
• Diagnostic instrumentation for multi-component system boundaries
• Architectural circuit-breaker to prevent endless patching cycles
• Rigorous data flow and backward tracing techniques
• Four-phase investigation framework (Root Cause, Pattern, Hypothesis, Implementation)

Casos de Uso

• Debugging data flow issues across multiple service or API boundaries
