debug SKILL.md skillA

debug from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/debug@git:20261012.4c2529e

Pins git:20261012.4c2529e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Investigate an unexplained defect or unexpected behavior without changing application code. Use for root-cause diagnosis and an evidence-backed handoff, including a bounded unresolved result. Not for implementing a known fix, new features, or explanation-only questions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# debug

Select this owning procedure for a root-cause investigation, whether requested in
plain language or through `/debug`. The command spelling is not a prerequisite.
Investigation and implementation remain separate: this procedure never changes code.
It closes the reproduce, evidence, and regression-test handoff loop through `/fix`.

## Entry boundaries

- A known bug with a named regression test belongs to `/fix` directly.
- A design discussion without failing behavior belongs to `/adr`; attribution is
  still required before authoring an ADR. New behavior belongs to `/feature`.
- An explanation-only question stays in the non-mutating question-answer path;
  it does not require a debug invocation or a command spelled by the user.
- A cited failure with an unknown trigger can enter scoped investigation. Keep
  diagnosis-only requests within diagnosis; a debug finding grants no repair
  authority. An active `/fix` may use one bounded internal diagnostic
  prerequisite and return to the same caller; do not recursively route public
  `/fix` and `/debug` entries. An active `/adr` is not debug authority.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/debug@sha256:e47764f1915116a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.4c2529e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
