When should I use the kitt-debug-like-expert skill?

Use this skill when standard troubleshooting fails, for complex logic errors, or when you need a methodical investigation rather than a quick fix.

How does this skill handle different programming languages?

It includes an automated context scan that detects project types like Python, JavaScript, Rust, or Swift and loads specific domain expertise if available in your environment.

What is the 'Verify, Don't Assume' principle?

It is a core rule requiring every hypothesis to be tested and every fix to be validated with evidence before the debugging task is marked as complete.

Does this skill help with my own code biases?

Yes, it specifically encourages skepticism toward code you designed or implemented to overcome cognitive biases about how the system 'should' work.

What is the standard output format for a debugging session?

The skill provides a structured markdown report including the specific issue description, observed evidence, investigation steps, root cause, and verification results.

開発者ツール

Activates a methodical, evidence-based investigation protocol to identify and resolve complex software bugs using scientific rigor.

概要

This skill transforms Claude into a senior-level debugger, moving beyond quick fixes to perform deep systematic root cause analysis. It implements a rigorous framework involving evidence gathering, hypothesis testing, and multi-stage verification, while proactively identifying domain-specific expertise for platforms like React, Rust, or Swift. It is specifically designed for scenarios where standard troubleshooting has failed, requiring the AI to challenge its own implementation assumptions to find elusive 'heisenbugs' and architectural flaws.
