From the author
Systematically trace bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger. Use when errors occur deep in execution and you need to trace back to find the original trigger.

- root-cause-analysisrohitg00/skillkitPerforms systematic root cause analysis to identify the true source of bugs, errors, and unexpected behavior through structured investigation phases — not just treating symptoms. Use when a user reports a bug, crash, error, or broken behavior and needs to debug, troubleshoot, or investigate why something is not working; especially for complex or intermittent issues across multiple components. Applies the Five Whys method, hypothesis-driven testing, stack trace analysis, git blame/log evidence gathering, and causal chain documentation to isolate and confirm root causes before applying any fix.Testing★ 1.6K
- 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★ 110.1K
- 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
- bug-localizationArabelaTso/Skills-4-SEIdentify the precise location of bugs in source code, modules, and systems. Use this skill when debugging applications, investigating test failures, analyzing error reports, tracing runtime issues, or performing root cause analysis. Analyzes stack traces, error messages, failing tests, and code patterns to pinpoint buggy functions, classes, files, or modules with confidence rankings and supporting evidence.Testing★ 258
- 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★ 41.6K
- five-whyswesammustafa/Claude-Code-Everything-You-Need-to-KnowFinds the root cause of a bug, failure or recurring problem by asking "why" until the answer is a cause you can fix. Use when the user asks why something keeps happening, or wants the root cause rather than a quick fix.Other★ 3.5K
