debug-issue
Skill3 starsChanged 31 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use when a bug report or failing test names a symptom and the code path producing it is not yet known — trace the call chain from symptom to entry point before proposing a fix. Trigger phrases: "why does this fail", "trace this bug", "find where this is called from", "what calls this function", "did a recent change cause this". Not a replacement for the general reproduce-isolate-fix discipline (a `systematic-debugging` skill, if present, governs that overall loop); reach for this skill specifically for the tracing step — once a symptom is located and the call chain to its entry point still needs walking before a hypothesis is formed.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
This is the generic copy. If this project has been scaffolded, prefer the unprefixed
debug-issueskill: it is.ai-badger/skills/debug-issue/SKILL.md, and it has this project's extensions and anyproject-local.mdmerged in. This copy has neither.The full procedure is in
SKILL.full.mdbeside this file, unchanged — read it if the project has no.ai-badger/, or runwelcome-ai-badgerto scaffold one.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
