Systematic Debugging Framework

The Systematic Debugging skill provides a disciplined framework for technical problem-solving, moving Claude's behavior away from trial-and-error toward evidence-based engineering. It enforces an 'Iron Law'—no fixes without root cause investigation—through a structured four-phase process: root cause investigation, pattern analysis, hypothesis testing, and implementation. This approach is essential for resolving complex bugs in multi-component systems, intermittent test failures, and architectural issues where surface-level patches would otherwise fail or create regressions.
