Find the root cause of a bug or failing test. Spawns 1 debugger subagent that reproduces, ladders hypotheses, isolates with evidence, and applies the minimal fix. Use when a test fails, /code-build reports blocked, or "X stopped working". Does NOT design features (that's /code-plan).

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: /code-debug

ORCHESTRATOR. One debugger subagent. It diagnoses before it touches anything.

## Invocation
`/code-debug "<error text / failing test / what broke>"`  (optionally `/code-debug <slug>` to tie it
to a feature build)

## Steps
1. **Gather the symptom**: the error/stack/failing-test name from the user, plus the build
   report `swarm-report/<slug>-build.md` if a slug was given.
2. **Spawn 1 debugger** (`Task`, `general-purpose`). Prompt:
   > Answer TERSE. Read `.claude/agents/code-debugger.md` and follow it exactly.
   > Symptom: <verbatim error / failing test>. Feature slug (if any): <slug>.
3. **Report** the debugger's return verbatim: root cause, evidence, fix, and the
   re-run output.
4. **Route the outcome:**
   - `fixed` → suggest `/code-review <slug>` to check the fix.
   - `root_cause_found` (found but not fixed) or `stuck` → show the hypothesis ladder;
     the user decides the fix, or re-run `/code-build <slug>` with the root cause as input.
   - `cannot_reproduce` → ask the user for exact repro steps; do not guess-patch.

## Where it sits in the loop
`/code-plan → /code-build → /code-review`. If a test fails or review says `rework` → `/code-debug` →

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexeyshishin/as-skill/code-debug@sha256:e6e274d2e9fc7c0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.66ad76d, 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.
