debugging SKILL.md skillA

debugging from akillness/jeo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/debugging@v2.1

Pins v2.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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.

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

# 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

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/debugging@sha256:8bfd5e4974a10fe2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, 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.
