Find the actual cause of a failure instead of guessing at fixes. Use when a test fails, a build breaks, a crash has no obvious cause, behaviour differs between machines, or a fix that worked yesterday stopped working. Auto-triggers on: "why is this failing", "debug this", "this test is flaky", "it works locally", "fix this bug", "this crashes".
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 The expensive failure mode is changing code until the symptom disappears. That does not remove the bug; it moves it. You are done when you can **explain the mechanism** and **turn the failure on and off on demand**. ## 1. Reproduce — a bug you cannot trigger, you cannot fix - Get the exact command, input, and environment. Run it yourself under `devil watch` so a hang is killed with a reason (exit 124), not waited on. - Record the real, complete error: the message, the stack, the exit code. Not a summary. - **Cannot reproduce?** That is the finding. Say so and collect what is missing — version, platform, data, timing, concurrency. Do not "fix" an unreproduced bug. - Flaky? Run it 20 times and report the rate (`3/20`). A rate is a fact; "sometimes" is not, and the rate is how you will know you fixed it. ## 2. Narrow — halve the search space, don't tour it Pick the cheapest axis available and bisect it: - **In time** — `git bisect run <cmd>` when it used to work. This is the single highest-value debugging tool and it is consistently the one skipped. - **In input** — delete half the input; still fails? delete half again. Land on the …

How to install
mdr add univers42/claude-deal-with-the-devil/debug@sha256:44ed147eaab1b266The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.5b26a1e, 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.
