runtime-error-explainer
From the author
Explains runtime errors and compilation failures with actionable debugging guidance. Use when Python or Java code throws runtime exceptions (NullPointerException, TypeError, AttributeError, etc.), compilation errors (syntax errors, type mismatches, import failures), or dependency issues. Analyzes error messages, stack traces, and code context to identify root causes and provide concrete fixes with examples. Distinct from test-related errors - focuses on errors during normal code execution and build processes.

- error-explanation-generatorArabelaTso/Skills-4-SEExplains test failures and provides actionable debugging guidance. Use when tests fail (unit, integration, E2E), builds fail, or code throws errors. Analyzes error messages, stack traces, and test output to identify root causes and suggest concrete fixes. Handles pytest, jest, junit, mocha, vitest, selenium, cypress, playwright, and other testing frameworks across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, and other languages.Testing★ 258
- counterexample-explainerArabelaTso/Skills-4-SEExplain why counterexamples violate specifications by analyzing formal specifications (temporal logic, invariants, pre/postconditions, code contracts), informal requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria), test specifications (assertions, property-based tests), and providing step-by-step traces showing state changes, comparing expected vs actual behavior, identifying root causes, and assessing violation impact. Use when debugging test failures, understanding model checker output, explaining runtime assertion violations, analyzing static analysis warnings, or teaching specification concepts. Produces structured markdown explanations with traces, comparisons, state diagrams, and cause chains. Triggers when users ask why something failed, explain a violation, understand a counterexample, debug a specification, or analyze why a test fails.Testing★ 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
- debug-helperJackyST0/awesome-agent-skillsHelp debug code by analyzing error messages, identifying root causes, and providing fix suggestions.Engineering★ 656
- python-error-handlingwshobson/agentsPython error handling patterns including input validation, exception hierarchies, and partial failure handling. Use when implementing validation logic, designing exception strategies, handling batch processing failures, or building robust APIs.Engineering★ 41.6K
- failure-oriented-instrumentationArabelaTso/Skills-4-SESelectively instruments code to capture runtime data for debugging failures and bugs. Use when investigating crashes, exceptions, unexpected behavior, test failures, or performance issues. Analyzes stack traces and error messages to identify suspicious code regions, then adds targeted logging, tracing, and assertions to capture variable values, execution paths, timing, and conditional branches. Supports Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, and C/C++.Testing★ 258
