principle-fix-root-causes
From the author
Apply when debugging. Trace each symptom back to the first place the system went wrong and fix it there. A guard is a fix only when the state it handles is legitimate.

- 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★ 109.1K
- 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★ 41.4K
- kiro-debuggotalab/cc-sddInvestigate implementation failures using root-cause-first debugging. Use when an implementer is blocked, verification fails, or repeated remediation does not converge.Engineering★ 3.7K
- hunttw93/WazaFinds root cause before any fix. Use when something errors, crashes, regresses, or used to work. Not for code review or new features.Engineering★ 7.3K
- 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★ 31K
- focused-fixalirezarezvani/claude-skillsUse when the user asks to fix, debug, or make a specific feature/module/area work end-to-end. Triggers: 'make X work', 'fix the Y feature', 'the Z module is broken', 'focus on [area]'. Not for quick single-bug fixes — this is for systematic deep-dive repair across all files and dependencies.Planning★ 28.5K
