What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps when you're stuck on a persistent bug, the obvious solutions haven't worked, the root cause is elusive, or you're repeatedly debugging the same issue. It's also valuable for post-mortems and incident analysis where jumping to conclusions is risky.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic Hypothesis Enumeration: Forces a structured approach to identifying potential causes before diving into solutions.
- Bias Awareness: Explicitly considers common cognitive biases like survivorship, selection, and hindsight bias.
- Conditional Reasoning: Frames guidance based on specific conditions rather than offering single "best" answers.
- Use Case: Debugging a complex intermittent API failure where multiple factors could be at play, ensuring all plausible causes are considered before implementing a fix.
Quick Start
Use the problem-solver-debugger skill to help diagnose a recurring intermittent bug in the user authentication service.
