debugging-and-error-recovery

SUMMARY

What it does

This Agent Skill provides a structured methodology for debugging and error recovery. It guides users through a systematic triage process: stop-the-line rule, reproduction, localization, reduction, root cause fixing, guarding against recurrence, and end-to-end verification. It includes error-specific patterns for test failures, build failures, and runtime errors, as well as safe fallback patterns, instrumentation guidelines, and red flags. The skill emphasizes treating error output as untrusted data and avoiding common rationalizations. It is designed for software development contexts where systematic debugging is needed.
