About
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.
