Does this skill help with Test-Driven Development?

Yes, Phase 4 requires the creation of a failing test case before a fix is implemented to ensure the root cause is truly addressed and to prevent future regressions.

What is the 'Iron Law' of systematic debugging?

The Iron Law states that no fixes should be proposed or implemented until Phase 1 (Root Cause Investigation) is fully completed and documented.

What should I do if my first three fix attempts fail?

The skill instructs you to stop and question the architecture. Repeated failed fixes often indicate a fundamental design flaw rather than a simple bug.

How does this skill handle multi-component systems?

It provides a framework for adding diagnostic instrumentation at every component boundary to log data entry, exit, and environment state, revealing exactly where the chain breaks.

보안 및 테스팅

Enforces a rigorous, root-cause-first methodology to eliminate guesswork and prevent regressive bugs during troubleshooting.

The Systematic Debugging skill transforms the debugging process from a series of educated guesses into a disciplined scientific workflow. It mandates an 'Iron Law' where no fixes are proposed until the root cause is definitively identified through a four-phase process: Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation. This skill is particularly effective for complex, multi-component systems and persistent bugs, providing specific strategies for data flow tracing, diagnostic instrumentation, and architectural health checks when simple patches fail.
