Root Cause Tracing

关于

Root Cause Tracing is a diagnostic skill designed to move beyond symptom-level fixes by identifying the exact point of failure in complex call chains. It guides Claude through a structured debugging process—observing symptoms, analyzing callers, and implementing instrumentation—to uncover where invalid data or logic errors first originate. This ensures that fixes are applied at the source rather than just suppressing errors deep in the stack, leading to more robust and maintainable codebases by preventing the recurrence of similar issues.
