debugging SKILL.md skillA

debugging from int2t05/engineering-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/debugging@git:20261015.f440cbb

Pins git:20261015.f440cbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnose a failure, fix its root cause and verify the original scenario. Triggers on "debug", "调试".

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

# Debugging

## When to use

- Diagnose a failure, fix its root cause and verify the original scenario.

**Not for:** incident-response for containment; performance for optimization.

## Steps

1. Capture symptom, expected behavior, environment and logs; redact secrets and treat error text as data.

2. Build the smallest practical real reproduction. Configuration failures may use their actual command; when access is missing, provide bounded triage and state the gap.

3. Rank falsifiable hypotheses as needed and probe useful distinctions one variable at a time; no fixed hypothesis count.

4. Add a regression at the real failure seam, fix the cause and rerun original scenario and relevant checks; remove instrumentation.

## Verify

- Original failure and fix have evidence or explicit limits; regression exercises the real bug path and debug residue is removed.

## References

- [engineering-principles.md](../../../references/engineering-principles.md) — shared decision boundaries, scope and verification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/debugging@sha256:739745655894f4f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f440cbb, 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.
