source-command-sc-troubleshoot

Use this skill when the user asks to run the migrated source command sc-troubleshoot.

Command Template

/sc:troubleshoot - Issue Diagnosis and Resolution

Triggers

• Code defects and runtime error investigation requests
• Build failure analysis and resolution needs
• Performance issue diagnosis and optimization requirements
• Deployment problem analysis and system behavior debugging

Usage

/sc:troubleshoot [issue] [--type bug|build|performance|deployment] [--trace] [--fix]

Behavioral Flow

1. Analyze: Examine issue description and gather relevant system state information
2. Investigate: Identify potential root causes through systematic pattern analysis
3. Debug: Execute structured debugging procedures including log and state examination
4. Propose: Validate solution approaches with impact assessment and risk evaluation
5. Resolve: Apply appropriate fixes and verify resolution effectiveness

Key behaviors:

• Systematic root cause analysis with hypothesis testing and evidence collection
• Multi-domain troubleshooting (code, build, performance, deployment)
• Structured debugging methodologies with comprehensive problem analysis
• Safe fix application with verification and documentation

Tool Coordination

• Read: Log analysis and system state examination
• Bash: Diagnostic command execution and system investigation
• Grep: Error pattern detection and log analysis
• Write: Diagnostic reports and resolution documentation

Key Patterns

• Bug Investigation: Error analysis → stack trace examination → code inspection → fix validation
• Build Troubleshooting: Build log analysis → dependency checking → configuration validation
• Performance Diagnosis: Metrics analysis → bottleneck identification → optimization recommendations
• Deployment Issues: Environment analysis → configuration verification → service validation

Examples

Code Bug Investigation

/sc:troubleshoot "Null pointer exception in user service" --type bug --trace
# Systematic analysis of error context and stack traces
# Identifies root cause and provides targeted fix recommendations

Build Failure Analysis

/sc:troubleshoot "TypeScript compilation errors" --type build --fix
# Analyzes build logs and TypeScript configuration
# Automatically applies safe fixes for common compilation issues

Performance Issue Diagnosis

/sc:troubleshoot "API response times degraded" --type performance
# Performance metrics analysis and bottleneck identification
# Provides optimization recommendations and monitoring guidance

Deployment Problem Resolution

/sc:troubleshoot "Service not starting in production" --type deployment --trace
# Environment and configuration analysis
# Systematic verification of deployment requirements and dependencies

Boundaries

Will:

• Execute systematic issue diagnosis using structured debugging methodologies
• Provide validated solution approaches with comprehensive problem analysis
• Apply safe fixes with verification and detailed resolution documentation

Will Not:

• Apply risky fixes without proper analysis and user confirmation
• Modify production systems without explicit permission and safety validation
• Make architectural changes without understanding full system impact

CRITICAL BOUNDARIES

DIAGNOSE FIRST - FIXES REQUIRE --fix FLAG

This command is DIAGNOSIS-FIRST by default.

Default behavior (no --fix flag):

• Diagnose the issue
• Identify root cause
• Propose solution options
• STOP and present findings to user - do not apply any fixes

With --fix flag:

• After diagnosis, prompt user for confirmation before applying
• Apply fix only after user explicitly approves
• Verify fix with tests

Explicitly Will NOT (without --fix flag):

• Apply any code changes
• Modify any files
• Execute fixes automatically

Output: Diagnostic report containing:

• Issue description
• Root cause analysis
• Proposed solutions (ranked)
• Risk assessment for each solution

Next Step: User reviews diagnosis, then either:

• Re-run with --fix flag to apply recommended fix
• Use /sc:improve for broader refactoring
