Systematic Debugging FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill require reproduction tests?

Accepted Answer

The skill strongly encourages creating a minimal reproduction test before applying a fix. This ensures the problem is fully understood and that the eventual solution actually works.

Question 2

When should I use the Systematic Debugging skill?

Accepted Answer

Use it for any technical issue including test failures, build errors, or unexpected behavior, especially when you are tempted to try a 'quick fix' without fully understanding why the error is occurring.

Question 3

Why does it emphasize tracing data flow backward?

Accepted Answer

Tracing backward from the symptom to the source ensures that the developer finds where a bad value actually originates, rather than just patching the point where the error eventually manifests.

Question 4

How does this skill differ from standard AI debugging?

Accepted Answer

While standard AI often suggests immediate fixes based on patterns, this skill enforces a strict process of evidence gathering, backward tracing, and hypothesis testing to ensure the root cause is understood before a fix is proposed.

Question 5

Can it help with complex architectural problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill includes a specific framework for recognizing when recurring bugs are symptoms of deeper architectural issues like excessive coupling or shared state problems.
