ccpm-debugging

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the frustration of chaotic debugging by providing a systematic, defense-in-depth approach to identify, trace, and resolve software issues. It ensures every bug fix is thorough, verified, and documented, preventing recurrence and saving development time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Systematic Troubleshooting: Guides you through observing symptoms, forming hypotheses, testing, confirming, fixing, verifying, and documenting.
• Root-Cause Tracing: Employs techniques like the "5 Whys" to uncover the true origin of problems, not just symptoms.
• Linear Integration: Automatically updates Linear tasks with debugging progress, findings, and blockers, keeping your project management in sync.
• Use Case: When your CI/CD pipeline fails intermittently with a "database connection timeout," this skill will guide you through diagnosing network, configuration, or readiness issues, helping you implement a robust health check and document the fix in Linear.

Quick Start

When tests are failing, use the /ccpm:verification:fix AUTH-123 command. The debugging skill will activate automatically to guide you through the fix.
