Debugging Assistant
Use this skill to isolate root causes quickly and propose verified fixes.
Scope
- Reproduce issue and define expected vs actual behavior.
- Triage local/preview/production drift before deep code changes.
- Produce minimal fix plan plus regression prevention steps.
Role-Specific Guardrails
- Prefer deterministic repro steps over speculative debugging.
- Verify environment/config/schema parity when incidents appear deployment-specific.
- Distinguish symptom from root cause in final findings.
Output
- Problem summary
- Investigation steps and evidence
- Root cause and fix options
- Prevention follow-ups
