hypothesis-testing
From the author
Applies the scientific method to debugging by helping users form specific, testable hypotheses, design targeted experiments, and systematically confirm or reject theories to find root causes. Use when a user says their code isn't working, they're getting an error, something broke, they want to troubleshoot a bug, or they're trying to figure out what's causing an issue. Concrete actions include isolating failing components, forming and testing hypotheses, analyzing error messages, tracing execution paths, and interpreting test results to narrow down root causes.

- bug-diagnosismohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsDiagnose a bug systematically instead of guessing — reproduce, isolate, form hypotheses, and test them to root cause. Use when debugging, chasing a defect, an intermittent failure, or 'why is this happening?'. Produces a structured diagnosis: a reliable repro, the narrowed-down location, ranked hypotheses with how to test each, and the root cause + fix once found.Testing★ 1.5K
- debuggingcode-yeongyu/oh-my-openagentRuns a hypothesis-driven debugging loop across any language or binary, escalating to orthogonal oracle angles and locking the fix with a failing test. Use for crashes, silent failures, hangs, wrong responses, memory leaks, async misbehavior, or reverse engineering.Engineering★ 70.3K
- systematic-debuggingcbrock84/headcountFinds the root cause of a bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior before proposing any fix. Use this whenever something is broken and the cause is not yet proven — a failing test, a production error, intermittent behavior, or a symptom that appeared after a change. Also use when a fix has been attempted and did not work, or when the same bug keeps coming back.Engineering★ 2.1K
- debugging-and-error-recoveryaddyosmani/agent-skillsGuides systematic root-cause debugging. Use when tests fail, builds break, something that worked yesterday broke, behavior doesn't match expectations, or you encounter any unexpected error. Use when you need to figure out what broke and why — a systematic approach to finding and fixing the root cause rather than guessing.Engineering★ 109.5K
- debuganthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsStructured debugging session — reproduce, isolate, diagnose, and fix. Trigger with an error message or stack trace, "this works in staging but not prod", "something broke after the deploy", or when behavior diverges from expected and the cause isn't obvious.OfficialEngineering★ 31.3K
- debugging-strategieswshobson/agentsMaster systematic debugging techniques, profiling tools, and root cause analysis to efficiently track down bugs across any codebase or technology stack. Use when investigating bugs, performance issues, or unexpected behavior.Engineering★ 41.5K
