Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes.
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
## Purpose Find the root cause of any bug before attempting a fix. Random fixes waste time and create new bugs. Symptom fixes are failure. **Core principle:** ALWAYS find root cause before attempting fixes. ## When to Use Use for ANY technical issue: - Test failures - Bugs in production - Unexpected behavior - Performance problems - Build failures - Integration issues **Use this especially when:** - Under time pressure (emergencies make guessing tempting) - "Just one quick fix" seems obvious - You've already tried multiple fixes - Previous fix didn't work - You don't fully understand the issue **Do not skip when:** - Issue seems simple (simple bugs have root causes too) - You're in a hurry (rushing guarantees rework) - Someone wants it fixed immediately (systematic is faster than thrashing) ## Inputs - Bug description or error message. - Stack trace or reproduction steps. - Environment context (OS, versions, recent changes). - Access to the codebase and test suite. ## Workflow You MUST complete each phase before proceeding to the next. ### Phase 1: Root Cause Investigation **Before attempting ANY fix:** …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/systematic-debugging@sha256:ed7795a18f7ac0c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.eec6027, 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.
