System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you systematically debug issues that manifest deep within a program's execution by tracing them back to their original trigger point, rather than just fixing the symptom.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backward Call Stack Tracing: Follows the execution path in reverse to pinpoint the origin of errors.
  • Instrumentation for Visibility: Adds temporary logging or stack trace capture when manual tracing is difficult.
  • Polluter Detection: Includes a script to identify which test case is causing unintended side effects or creating unwanted files.
  • Use Case: When an error message appears deep in a complex function call chain, use this Skill to trace back through the sequence of calls to find exactly which initial input or preceding function call caused the problem.

Quick Start

Use the tracing-root-causes skill to debug an error that appears deep in the call stack.
