About
This skill transforms Claude into a disciplined debugging partner by enforcing a strict 'Root Cause First' policy. It guides the AI through four essential phases: investigating evidence, analyzing patterns, testing hypotheses, and implementing verified fixes. By preventing premature code changes and emphasizing diagnostic instrumentation, this skill reduces the time spent on guess-and-check debugging and ensures that fixes address underlying architectural issues rather than just surface-level symptoms. It is particularly effective for complex, multi-layered systems where the source of an error is not immediately obvious.
