debug SKILL.md skillA
debug from ariaxhan/kernel-claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/debug@git:20260920.7955cbfPins git:20260920.7955cbf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnosis before prescription: reproduce, hypothesize, isolate, fix root cause, add a regression test; refactor mode maps deps, coupling and blast radius. Triggers: bug, error, fix, broken, not working, crashed, stack trace, exception, refactor, restructure, coupling, dependency map.
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
<skill id="debug"> <purpose> Debugging is forming and testing a THEORY that explains the bug. Not random changes. Not guessing. Scientific method applied to code. DEFECT (in code) → INFECTION (in state) → FAILURE (visible symptom). The failure you see is NOT where the bug is. Binary search upstream. Systematic methodology beats ad-hoc guessing. The process is the multiplier. Diagnosis comes before prescription: a surgeon cutting before the X-ray is guessing with a knife. Two modes, same discipline. `bug` (default) is the steps below. `refactor` swaps the subject from a failure to a structure, and produces a plan instead of a fix. </purpose> <prerequisite>Run `agentdb recall` with the exact error text, subsystem/library, failing test, and known files/symbols. Recall again when the hypothesis changes or a new failure appears; that is a new retrieval question. Reference on demand: skills/debug/reference/debug-research.md.</prerequisite> <steps> 1. **REPRODUCE**: get specific before touching code. - Document: exact input, expected output, actual output (full stack trace), environment, frequency. - "Sometimes fails" is not a reproduction. Get deterministic. …

How to install
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/debug@sha256:dc32fc23fad8674bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.7955cbf, 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.
