Debug (Anthropic alternative)

Rewrite of anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins engineering/skills/debug @ ebd7990c. Compress, not a paste. Alternative to default debug. Load one debug skill. No scripts/. Dropped host CONNECTORS placeholders.

Iron law

Root cause, then fix, then a guard. Share error text exactly — do not paraphrase.

Steps

  1. Reproduce — expected vs actual, exact steps, scope (when, who).
  2. Isolate — component/path, recent deploys/config/deps, logs.
  3. Diagnose — hypotheses you can test, trace the path, name the cause not the symptom.
  4. Fix — propose the fix and name its side effects; add a regression test (tdd); verify (verify-before-done).

Report

Always

  • Invent monitoring you do not have.
  • Skip Prevention.

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.
