About
This skill transforms Claude's debugging process from 'guess-and-check' into a scientific methodology. By enforcing a strict four-phase workflow—Root Cause Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Implementation—it ensures that developers never apply a patch without fully understanding the underlying issue. It is particularly effective for multi-component systems, elusive test failures, and scenarios where initial fix attempts have failed, prompting a critical review of the system architecture when necessary. By following this iron-clad process, developers reduce thrashing and ensure that every fix addresses the source rather than just the symptoms.
