SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a way to investigate and diagnose difficult-to-reproduce bugs without impacting the main session, by spawning a background agent to perform a thorough troubleshooting investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background Troubleshooting: Run a rigorous investigation on an ambiguous or complex bug without affecting the main session.
  • Evidence-Driven Diagnosis: Analyze logs, disk state, configurations, and vendor status to provide a structured verdict with root cause, evidence, and possible fixes.
  • Non-Mutative: Ensures no changes are made to the system or context during the diagnosis.

Quick Start

Invoke the background-agent-troubleshooting skill by typing 'troubleshoot' and follow the prompt template provided.

FAQPage Schema
How do I troubleshoot difficult-to-reproduce bugs without affecting my main session?▼

You can troubleshoot difficult-to-reproduce bugs using a background agent that performs evidence-driven investigation without mutating the system context. This ensures your main session remains completely unaffected during the diagnosis process.

What is evidence-driven diagnosis for complex software issues?▼

Evidence-driven diagnosis analyzes logs, disk state, configurations, and vendor status to provide a structured verdict. It identifies the root cause of complex software issues by gathering empirical data rather than guessing, yielding a structured verdict with possible fixes.

Can I run a background investigation for cross-workstation issues with complex root causes?▼

Yes, you can run a background investigation specifically suited for diagnosing cross-workstation issues with complex root causes. The background agent performs thorough troubleshooting by analyzing logs, disk state, and vendor status across the environment.

How do I start a background agent for log analysis and bug troubleshooting?▼

To start log analysis and bug troubleshooting, invoke the background agent by typing 'troubleshoot' and follow the provided prompt template. The agent then executes a rigorous investigation to diagnose the ambiguous or complex bug.

Does background troubleshooting make any changes to the system during diagnosis?▼

No, background troubleshooting is non-mutative, ensuring no changes are made to the system or context during the diagnosis. The background agent strictly performs read-only evidence gathering like disk state checks and log analysis.

What is the best way to diagnose difficult software bugs without mutating the system context?▼

The best way to diagnose difficult software bugs without mutating the system context is deploying a non-mutative background agent. It safely performs an evidence-driven investigation to deliver a structured verdict with root cause, evidence, and possible fixes.
