What is Debug Detective?

A debugging skill that forces structured problem-solving. Instead of scattering console.log statements, the agent forms a hypothesis, identifies the minimal reproduction path, uses binary search through the call stack, checks recent git changes in the affected area, and produces a root-cause analysis before writing any fix.

# Debug Detective Skill

## Investigation Protocol
When a bug is reported, follow these steps IN ORDER:

### 1. Reproduce
- Get the exact error message and stack trace
- Find the minimal input that triggers the bug
- Confirm: "I can reproduce this with: [steps]"

### 2. Hypothesize
- List 3 possible causes, ranked by likelihood
- For each: what evidence would confirm or rule it out?

### 3. Isolate (Binary Search)
- Check git blame on the failing line
- Find the last commit where this worked
- Narrow: is the bug in input, logic, or output?

  • Add specialized skills or bundles once the core system is stable.
  • Use the community to sharpen positioning, demos, and feedback loops.

Need this adapted to your business?

Buy the asset first if you can run it yourself. If this workflow is business-critical or needs custom implementation, move into a sprint or fractional CIO advisory instead of guessing.
