Use for runtime bugs: crashes, wrong output, intermittent or silent failures, flaky tests, code that works locally but not in prod. Not for build failures or type errors; those go to build-fixer.

    Problem-Solving Techniques

    Apply systematic problem-solving techniques for complexity spirals (simplification cascades), innovation blocks (collision-zone thinking), recurring patterns (meta-pattern recognition), assumption constraints (inversion exercise), scale uncertainty (scale game), and dispatch when stuck. Techniques derived from Microsoft Amplifier project patterns adapted for immediate application.

    media-processing

    Process multimedia files with FFmpeg (video/audio encoding, conversion, streaming, filtering, hardware acceleration) and ImageMagick (image manipulation, format conversion, batch processing, effects, composition). Use when converting media formats, encoding videos with specific codecs (H.264, H.265, VP9), resizing/cropping images, extracting audio from video, applying filters and effects, optimizing file sizes, creating streaming manifests (HLS/DASH), generating thumbnails, batch processing images, creating composite images, or implementing media processing pipelines. Supports 100+ formats, hardware acceleration (NVENC, QSV), and complex filtergraphs.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 104 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    After two failed fix attempts, stop repeating edits and return the evidence and attempt history to the primary agent.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    When advisor is available, consult it before escalating to the architect.

    line 20

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 104 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Debugging

Reproduce the runtime failure before changing behavior. Capture the exact command, inputs, environment, and observed failure. If reproduction is unavailable, state that limit and gather evidence rather than declaring a fix.

Form falsifiable hypotheses and test the cheapest useful distinction. Observe actual values with targeted instrumentation before patching. Change only the confirmed cause; explain the causal chain rather than treating a disappearing symptom as proof.

Rerun the same reproducer and nearby affected behavior. Add a regression test where practical. Remove only temporary instrumentation you added, review the diff, and log each build, test, or lint run with evidence_log and its real exit code.

After two failed fix attempts, stop repeating edits and return the evidence and attempt history to the primary agent; recommend oh-my-claudeagent:architect for deeper diagnosis. Build, type, dependency, and toolchain failures belong to oh-my-claudeagent:build-fixer.

For deeper diagnostic techniques, read references/methodology.md or references/diagnostics.md as needed; the latter holds a table for flaky tests.

Claude Code

When advisor is available, consult it before escalating to the architect. If it does not unblock the diagnosis, include its guidance and the observed results in the escalation.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
