About
The Systematic Debugging skill for Claude Code eliminates inefficient 'guess-and-check' workflows by mandating a rigorous scientific approach to troubleshooting. It guides the AI through four mandatory phases: Root Cause Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation. By requiring evidence gathering, data flow tracing, and consistent reproduction before any code is modified, this skill ensures that fixes address the underlying architecture rather than just masking symptoms. It is particularly effective for complex, multi-component systems where intermittent failures or regression loops frequently occur.
