ai-debug
From the author
Finds 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.

- 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★ 2.1K
- 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★ 110.3K
- 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★ 32.8K
- debug-helperJackyST0/awesome-agent-skillsHelp debug code by analyzing error messages, identifying root causes, and providing fix suggestions.Engineering★ 657
- ca-debugarbiterForge/codeArbiterInvestigate an unexplained defect or unexpected behavior without changing application code. Use for root-cause diagnosis and an evidence-backed handoff, including a bounded unresolved result. Not for implementing a known fix, new features, or explanation-only questions.Engineering★ 148
