Systematic Debugging FAQs

Question 1

What happens if the first few fixes don't work?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes an 'Iron Law' for Phase 4: if three fixes fail, the process mandates stopping to question the fundamental architecture rather than attempting a fourth patch.

Question 2

How does this skill differ from standard AI debugging?

Accepted Answer

Standard AI debugging often jumps to solutions; this skill enforces a strict four-phase process (Investigation, Analysis, Hypothesis, Implementation) that prevents the AI from suggesting fixes until the root cause is proven.

Question 3

When should I use the Systematic Debugging skill?

Accepted Answer

Use it for any technical issue, especially when you are under time pressure, dealing with complex multi-component systems, or when previous 'quick fixes' have failed to resolve an issue.

Question 4

Does it require a specific testing framework?

Accepted Answer

No, it is framework-agnostic but requires a reproducible failing test case—either via an automated framework or a one-off script—before any fix is implemented.

Question 5

Does this skill help with environment-specific bugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Phase 1 includes specific protocols for gathering evidence across component boundaries (CI, build, database) to identify if a failure is code-based or environmental.
