debug-hunt from flagrare/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Evidence-first debugging for bugs that are hard to reproduce, intermittent, performance-related, or where previous static-analysis fixes have failed. Declares an explicit goal via /goal (the bug no longer reproduces), then loops through Hypothesis → Instrument → Reproduce → Analyze → Fix until that goal is met. Uses ATDD via /flagrare:atdd-plan to write the fix when the codebase has tests. Triggers when the user reports a difficult bug, says 'this only happens sometimes', 'my fix didn't work'…
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 Evidence-first debugging. The core principle: **never commit to a fix until runtime data proves the root cause**. Static analysis tells you what *should* happen. Logs, spans, and runtime state tell you what *actually* happens. This skill closes the gap by treating debugging as a scientific loop, hypothesis, instrumentation, reproduction, analysis, not a guessing game. --- ## Step 0: Set the goal Invoke `/goal` with this statement (fill in the bug from the user's description): > **Goal:** `[bug description]` no longer reproduces. The root cause is confirmed by runtime evidence, not assumption. If the codebase has tests, a failing test captured the bug before the fix and passes after. All instrumentation is removed. The codebase is clean. Surface the goal back to the user in one sentence so they can adjust scope before the loop starts. This is the exit condition, the entire session runs until these conditions hold. --- ## Phase 1: Context & Hypotheses **Gather facts before reading any code.** Collect: - Exact reproduction steps (or the conditions under which it *doesn't* reproduce, negative constraints narrow the search space fast) …

How to install
mdr add flagrare/agent-skills/debug-hunt@sha256:beaae753cf77fcdeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.9c42181, 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.
