parallel-debugging SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

parallel-debugging from rudycity/superagent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rudycity/superagent/parallel-debugging@v1.0.2

Pins v1.0.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Debug complex issues using competing hypotheses with parallel investigation, evidence collection, and root cause arbitration. Use this skill when debugging bugs with multiple potential causes, performing root cause analysis, or organizing parallel investigation workflows.

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

# Parallel Debugging

Framework for debugging complex issues using the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) methodology with parallel agent investigation.

## When to Use This Skill

- Bug has multiple plausible root causes
- Initial debugging attempts haven't identified the issue
- Issue spans multiple modules or components
- Need systematic root cause analysis with evidence
- Want to avoid confirmation bias in debugging

## Hypothesis Generation Framework

Generate hypotheses across 6 failure mode categories:

### 1. Logic Error

- Incorrect conditional logic (wrong operator, missing case)
- Off-by-one errors in loops or array access
- Missing edge case handling
- Incorrect algorithm implementation

### 2. Data Issue

- Invalid or unexpected input data
- Type mismatch or coercion error
- Null/undefined/None where value expected
- Encoding or serialization problem
- Data truncation or overflow

### 3. State Problem

- Race condition between concurrent operations
- Stale cache returning outdated data
- Incorrect initialization or default values
- Unintended mutation of shared state
- State machine transition error

### 4. Integration Failure

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rudycity/superagent/parallel-debugging@sha256:31b6e288504f465c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, 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.
