Systematic debugging approach for identifying and fixing issues.
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 Helper A systematic approach to debugging software issues. ## Investigation Steps 1. Reproduce the issue consistently 2. Isolate the problem area 3. Form a hypothesis 4. Test the hypothesis 5. Apply the fix 6. Verify the solution ## Common Debugging Techniques - Add logging at critical points - Use breakpoints and step-through debugging - Check input/output at boundaries - Review recent changes in version control - Compare working vs broken states ## Error Analysis - Read error messages carefully - Check stack traces for root cause - Verify assumptions about data types and values - Look for off-by-one errors and null references

How to install
mdr add athola/skrills/debug-helper@sha256:b8d9a93311da1598The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260106.0e498e9, 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.
