trace-and-isolate
From the author
Applies systematic tracing and isolation techniques to pinpoint exactly where a bug originates in code. Use when a bug is hard to locate, code is not working as expected, an error or crash appears with unclear cause, a regression was introduced between recent commits, or you need to narrow down which component, function, or line is faulty. Covers binary search debugging, git bisect for regressions, strategic logging with [TRACE] patterns, data and control flow tracing, component isolation, minimal reproduction cases, conditional breakpoints, and watch expressions across TypeScript, SQL, and bash.

- investigatetobihagemann/turboSystematically investigate bugs, test failures, build errors, performance issues, or unexpected behavior by cycling through characterize-isolate-hypothesize-test steps. Use when the user asks to "investigate this bug", "debug this", "figure out why this fails", "find the root cause", "why is this broken", "troubleshoot this", "diagnose the issue", "what's causing this error", "look into this failure", "why is this test failing", or "track down this bug".Finance★ 417
- root-cause-tracingsecondsky/claude-skillsSystematically 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.Other★ 239
- 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★ 41.9K
- 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★ 33.5K
- 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
- 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★ 259
