bug-localization
From the author
Identify 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.

- static-bug-detectorArabelaTso/Skills-4-SEAnalyze source code statically to detect potential functional bugs including null dereferences, incorrect condition checks, unreachable code, inconsistent state updates, logic errors, resource leaks, and type mismatches. Report suspicious code locations with detailed explanations, severity levels, and confidence assessments. Use when reviewing code for bugs, performing code audits, or when the user asks to find bugs, detect issues, analyze code for problems, or perform static analysis.Engineering★ 258
- test-guided-bug-detectorArabelaTso/Skills-4-SEAnalyze failing tests to detect functional bugs in code. Takes repository and failing test output as input, analyzes execution behavior, assertions, and stack traces to identify suspicious code regions and root causes. Use when debugging test failures, investigating regression bugs, or understanding why tests fail. Explains the bug mechanism, identifies affected code, and suggests fixes based on test expectations vs actual behavior.Testing★ 258
- bug-detectivebrycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-SkillsThis skill should be used when the user asks to "debug this", "fix this error", "investigate this bug", "troubleshoot this issue", "find the problem", "something is broken", "this isn't working", "why is this failing", or reports errors/exceptions/bugs. Provides systematic debugging workflow and common error patterns.Finance★ 4.8K
- 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
