systematic-debugging SKILL.md skillA
systematic-debugging from andreymudri/fleetmates is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes - reproduce and isolate before changing anything.
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
# Systematic Debugging _Adapted from the MIT-licensed superpowers plugin by Jesse Vincent. See NOTICE.md._ ## Overview **Core principle:** find the root cause before attempting a fix. A fix aimed at a symptom without a confirmed cause is a guess, and guesses are how debugging sessions run for hours without progress. ## The Loop One step at a time. Do not skip ahead to a fix because the cause "seems obvious." 1. **Reproduce reliably.** Trigger the bug on demand, with exact steps. If you can't reproduce it consistently, gather more evidence before doing anything else — don't guess at a fix for a bug you can't summon. 2. **Minimise the reproduction.** Strip away everything not required to trigger it: unrelated setup, unrelated input, unrelated code paths. A smaller reproduction narrows where the cause can be. 3. **State a hypothesis that predicts something observable.** "I think X is the cause because Y, and if true then Z will happen when I do W." A hypothesis that can't fail — one with no observable prediction — is not a hypothesis, it's a guess wearing a hypothesis's clothes. …

How to install
mdr add andreymudri/fleetmates/systematic-debugging@sha256:6af8b6ea3de81cbaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.c00f407, 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.
