About this skill

Describe the bug or paste the error and Debug Helper walks you through a disciplined debugging pass: list hypotheses, rank by likelihood, propose the cheapest test for each, and narrow down to a root cause before touching code. It refuses to guess-and-check, which is exactly what you want when you've been staring at the same stack trace for an hour.

What it does

  • Hypothesis-ranked diagnostics
  • Cheapest-test-first ordering
  • Root-cause confirmation before fix
  • Stack trace and log parsing
  • Works across languages and frameworks

Use cases

  • Track down a flaky test in a CI pipeline
  • Isolate a production bug from a paste of logs
  • Investigate a race condition without shotgun debugging
