description	Diagnose runtime issues through structured hypothesis-driven debugging.

/incident-debug

Spawns the incident-debugger agent to systematically diagnose runtime or production issues.

Steps

1. Gather context — collect information about the incident:

   • If arguments are provided (error messages, log snippets, stack traces), pass those directly
   • Otherwise, ask the user for: symptoms, reproduction steps, and when it started
   • Run git log --oneline -20 to identify recent changes that may be related

2. Spawn the agent — use the Task tool:

   Task tool with subagent_type="incident-debugger"
   

   Pass in the prompt:

   • All symptom information (error messages, stack traces, logs)
   • Recent git changes and affected files
   • The project's language, framework, and runtime context

3. Present findings — relay the agent's diagnosis:

   • Show the ranked hypotheses with evidence for/against each
   • Present the confirmed root cause with the code path
   • Show the proposed fix and regression test

4. Offer follow-up actions:

   • "Apply fix?" — implement the proposed minimal fix
   • "Run tests?" — verify the fix and check for regressions
   • "Create issue for systemic problems?" — track broader issues as GitHub issues
