debug
From the author
Evidence-before-action diagnosis of failing ML experiments. Probes the system before guessing causes, process list, dmesg, GPU stats, log scrollback, checkpoint state, then states a hypothesis as a hypothesis and runs a smoke before claiming a root cause. Use when the user asks why a run is failing, diverging, OOMing, hanging, slow, producing weird metrics, has crashed, or asks to debug, diagnose, troubleshoot, or investigate a training issue.

- root-cause-debuggingthiientv/godmodeInvestigates a bug, failing test, build error, regression, flaky behavior, performance symptom, or unexpected result by reproducing it, minimizing the case, testing ranked hypotheses, tracing the first incorrect state, and locking the root cause with a regression check. Use before proposing a fix. Not for planning a new feature or reviewing a healthy diff.Engineering★ 99
- 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★ 2.5K
- debuggingnotque/vexjoy-agentDebugging: guided diagnosis of application bugs, and post-mortem of failed agent sessions.Engineering★ 443
- hypothesis-testingrohitg00/skillkitApplies 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.Testing★ 1.6K
- diagnoseKerberosClaw/kc_ai_skillsUse when the user reports misbehaving software to investigate — a bug, crash, wrong output, flaky behavior, or '為什麼壞掉/不會動/查一下' — and the root cause is not yet established. Enforces building a red-capable reproduction command BEFORE any hypothesis is allowed, then 3-5 ranked falsifiable hypotheses before testing any single one. NOT for conceptual questions, code reading requests, or feature work. When a failing command already exists, Step 1 is pre-satisfied — still apply, jumping straight to the hypothesis discipline.Testing★ 79
- ai-debugarcasilesgroup/ai-engineeringFinds the root cause of broken behaviour and names it at file:line, then writes the check that fails for that reason before changing anything. Also resolves merge and rebase conflicts by intent rather than by taking a side. Trigger for "it's not working", "this used to work", "I'm getting an error", "CI is failing", "why is X happening", "I have conflicts", "the rebase failed". Not for adding test coverage to working code — use /ai-verify. Not for exploring an unfamiliar area — use /ai-explore. Not for designing the fix — once the cause is named, use /ai-orchestrator. Not for reporting the fault to outsiders — use /ai-issue-report.Engineering★ 62
