Can I perform other tasks while an agent is debugging?

Yes, you can spawn background agents to trace code paths or check logs while continuing the interactive conversation with Claude without interruption.

How does the four-phase debugging process work?

The skill guides you through Understanding the issue, Gathering Evidence, finding the Root Cause, and finally Resolution, ensuring a systematic approach that avoids guesswork.

Does this skill help with Test Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, when opting to fix a bug immediately, the skill guides you to create a failing test case first to verify the root cause and ensure the fix is successful.

What happens once the root cause of a bug is identified?

You are given the choice to fix the issue immediately using a TDD approach, create a 'bug Bead' for later tracking, or continue the investigation if needed.

分析与监控

Guides developers through a structured four-phase interactive debugging process to identify and resolve root causes.

The exploration-debug skill transforms Claude into a collaborative debugging partner that prevents premature fixes by enforcing a systematic investigation workflow. Instead of jumping straight to code changes, it guides users through four distinct phases: understanding symptoms, gathering evidence, identifying the root cause, and implementing a verified resolution. By leveraging background agents to perform technical tasks like log analysis and code tracing, it allows for a continuous investigative dialogue that ensures fixes address the source of a problem rather than just the symptoms.
