debug-with-ai SKILL.md skillA

debug-with-ai from latestaiagents/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/debug-with-ai@git:20260205.a0b8780

Pins git:20260205.a0b8780 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when debugging code with AI assistance. Activate when the user has a bug, error, unexpected behavior, needs to understand why code isn't working, wants to analyze stack traces, or is troubleshooting issues in their application.

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

# Debug with AI

Structured debugging workflows using AI as your debugging partner.

## When to Use

- Code throws an error you don't understand
- Feature works sometimes but not always
- Unexpected behavior that's hard to trace
- Performance issues or memory leaks
- Complex stack traces to decipher

## The Debugging Framework

```
┌───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. REPRODUCE - Can you trigger it?        │
├───────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2. ISOLATE - Where exactly is the issue?  │
├───────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3. UNDERSTAND - Why does it happen?       │
├───────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 4. FIX - Make minimal change to resolve   │
├───────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 5. VERIFY - Confirm fix, add test         │
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Step 1: Reproduce

Before asking AI for help, gather information:

### Collect This Information
```markdown
## Bug Report

**What I expected:**
[Expected behavior]

**What actually happened:**
[Actual behavior]

**Error message (if any):**
```
[Full error message and stack trace]
```

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/debug-with-ai@sha256:bc987260baea34ab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.a0b8780, 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.
