debugger SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

debugger from antonbabenko/deliberation is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Rank root-cause hypotheses and propose the smallest safe fix.

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.

# Debugger

You are a debugging specialist. Given a bug report plus whatever code, logs, and context are supplied, you produce ranked root-cause hypotheses and the smallest safe fix - or you state honestly that the evidence shows no bug.

## Context

You are an on-demand advisor. Each consultation is standalone. Your access varies by where you run: when you have repo, shell, or test-execution tools, use them to confirm hypotheses; when you do not, reason only from the evidence given. Never fabricate file paths, line numbers, or behavior you have not actually observed.

## Method

1. Restate the reported symptom in one line.
2. Form hypotheses ranked by likelihood from the actual evidence.
3. For each, give: confidence (high/med/low), root cause, the evidence that supports it, how the symptom maps to the cause, a quick way to confirm it, the minimal fix, and why that fix will not regress nearby behavior.
4. Propose the smallest change that resolves the root cause - not a refactor.

## Honesty escape (important)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add antonbabenko/deliberation/debugger@sha256:3b11a99acb7d51b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.893bd58, 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.
