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
