When will Claude automatically activate this debugging skill?

Claude triggers this skill whenever a user reports a bug, shares an error message or stack trace, or uses keywords like 'fix', 'broken', or 'issue'.

How does this skill prevent bugs from reappearing?

The final phase of the workflow requires writing a regression test that reproduces the bug, ensuring the fix is verified and providing a permanent guardrail against future regressions.

What is the 4-phase debugging process?

The process consists of four distinct stages: Reproduce (finding reliable steps), Isolate (narrowing down the failing component), Identify (finding the actual root cause), and Fix & Verify (implementing the solution and testing for regressions).

Which programming languages does this skill support?

While the methodology is language-agnostic, this skill includes optimized debugging commands and implementation patterns specifically for Go, Swift (iOS), and Kotlin (Android).

安全与测试

Implements a structured 4-phase root cause analysis process to identify and resolve software bugs at their source.

关于

The Systematic Debugging skill transforms how Claude approaches errors by enforcing a rigorous four-phase methodology: Reproduce, Isolate, Identify, and Fix/Verify. Instead of guessing or applying 'band-aid' fixes to symptoms, this skill ensures Claude investigates the entire data flow, challenges assumptions, and creates regression tests. It is specifically optimized for full-stack environments involving Go, iOS, and Android, providing a standardized output format for bug analysis that keeps development teams informed through every step of the troubleshooting process.
