debugging skillA

debugging is agent-read markdown (skill) from ahgraber/skills: Use when a bug, test failure, build break, regression, flaky test, or unexpected behavior appears — before proposing or attempting fixes. Triggers: "why is this failing", "this test broke", "something's wrong", "help me debug", "it works on my machine", mysterious stack traces, intermittent failures. Not for: writing new features, reviewing working code, or routine refactors..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add ahgraber/skills/debugging@git:20260819.209d97b
Exact content
mdr add ahgraber/skills/debugging@sha256:1ef0acf7e26eadec

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
