System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers efficiently debug software by strategically adding instrumentation to code, focusing only on suspicious areas to capture high-signal runtime data for failures and bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Targeted Instrumentation: Adds logging, tracing, and assertions only to relevant code sections, minimizing overhead.
  • Multi-language Support: Works with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, and C/C++.
  • Use Case: When a critical application crashes unexpectedly, use this Skill to instrument the functions in the stack trace and log key variable values just before the crash to identify the root cause.

Quick Start

Use the failure-oriented-instrumentation skill to instrument the processUser function in UserService.java to log the userId and the retrieved user object before line 45.
