debugging is agent-read markdown (skill) from akillness/jeo-skills: Run a reproduce → isolate → verify debugging workflow for concrete bugs, regressions, flaky failures, and environment-specific behavior. Use when the user already has a failing command, test, request, UI flow, or narrowed symptom and needs root-cause diagnosis or fix verification rather than raw log-line selection, broad test-policy design, PR review, or generic performance tuning..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Debugging
Use this skill when the job is to **turn a concrete failure into a bounded diagnosis loop**.
The center of the skill is small and repeatable:
1. define the failing behavior in testable terms,
2. build or confirm the cheapest reliable reproducer,
3. isolate the narrowest failing boundary,
4. run one discriminating check per hypothesis,
5. verify the fix under the same conditions.
Read [references/handoff-boundaries.md](references/handoff-boundaries.md) before taking work that may belong to `log-analysis`, `testing-strategies`, `code-review`, or `performance-optimization`.
Read [references/debug-loop.md](references/debug-loop.md) for the full experiment-loop scaffolding.
Read [references/mode-selection-and-fast-checks.md](references/mode-selection-and-fast-checks.md) when the case is clearly a regression, flake, env/config mismatch, or artifact-led investigation.
## When to use this skill
- A command, test, request, or UI flow fails and the user needs a root-cause workflow
- A bug is reproducible or close to reproducible and needs narrowing before patching
- A regression has a likely change window or last-known-good state

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
