Can I use this for production outages?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for gathering evidence from error trackers like Sentry and utilizing application logs to reproduce production issues safely in local environments.

Does it include performance profiling?

Yes, the skill covers tools and techniques for identifying bottlenecks such as N+1 queries, unnecessary re-renders, and synchronous I/O issues.

What programming languages are supported?

While the core principles are language-agnostic, the skill includes specific tool configurations and implementation patterns for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Go.

How does this skill help with 'flaky' or intermittent bugs?

It provides structured patterns for identifying race conditions and timing dependencies through strategic logging, state transition tracking, and simulated load testing.

Security & Testing

Employs systematic methodologies and advanced profiling tools to identify, isolate, and resolve complex software bugs across multiple tech stacks.

About

Debugging Strategies transforms troubleshooting from a trial-and-error process into a structured scientific methodology. It provides the frameworks necessary to reproduce elusive bugs, perform root cause analysis, and utilize language-specific tools for JavaScript, Python, and Go. Whether you are tracking memory leaks, investigating production outages, or untangling race conditions, this skill guides you through reproduction checklists and advanced techniques like git bisect and differential debugging to ensure permanent fixes rather than just symptomatic patches.
