What problem does it solve?

This skill enables evidence-based debugging by instrumenting software to reveal actual runtime behavior rather than guesses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Instrumentation-first debugging: add logs, assertions, and traces to reveal actual runtime behavior.
  • Evidence-based hypothesis: collect data to explain symptoms and disprove guesses.
  • Cross-context debugging: applicable to CLI programs, APIs, files, and environment issues to identify root causes.

Quick Start

  1. Reproduce the issue with instrumentation enabled to capture input values and state changes.
  2. Insert targeted debug statements to surface function entry/exit, branches taken, and external responses.
  3. Run, collect outputs, and form a testable hypothesis to guide fixes.
