systematic-debugging SKILL.md skillA
systematic-debugging from baphuongna/pi-crew is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/systematic-debugging@git:20260911.c97bc57Pins git:20260911.c97bc57 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Four-phase debugging discipline with refuse gates. When NOT to use: trivial fixes where root cause is obvious; production incidents needing immediate rollback (use post-mortem after).
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
# systematic-debugging Core principle: no fixes without root-cause investigation first. Symptom patches create new bugs and hide the real failure. Distilled from detailed reads of systematic-debugging, root-cause tracing, TDD, and error-analysis skill patterns. ## Invocation — Read Before Debugging Before beginning any debug session, recite these four steps: > **1. First is reproducibility.** Can the issue be reproduced reliably? > **2. Know the fail path.** Where does the code break and what stops it from breaking? > **3. Question your hypothesis.** What would disprove it? > **4. Every run is a breadcrumb.** Cross-reference all of them. If the user says "skip the ritual" → skip the recitation but still apply the four phases silently. ## Refuse Gate — Do NOT Proceed Without These Before proposing ANY fix: - [ ] **Can you reproduce the issue reliably?** (deterministic or >50% flake rate) - [ ] **Do you know the root cause?** (confirmed mechanism, not a hypothesis) - [ ] **Have you tried to FALSIFY your hypothesis first?** (disproof before proof) If ANY answer is NO: → Stop. → State what's missing. → Do not propose a fix. …

How to install
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/systematic-debugging@sha256:211d2668587292a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
