superior-debugging SKILL.md skillA
superior-debugging from kodekateam/superior-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add kodekateam/superior-skills/superior-debugging@git:20261015.f413813Pins git:20261015.f413813 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnose and repair reproducible, intermittent, environment-specific, or production-observed software failures by tracing evidence to a root cause. Use when a symptom exists but its cause is uncertain or when a proposed fix needs causal validation. Do not use for feature implementation, speculative cleanup, or a general review without a concrete failure.
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
# Superior Debugging Turn an observed failure into a supported causal explanation, then make the smallest complete repair. Preserve the user's scope and the repository's existing architecture while distinguishing evidence from assumptions. ## Define the failure precisely Before changing code, establish: - the observed result, expected result, and source of that expectation; - the smallest known reproduction and whether it is deterministic; - the affected versions, environments, inputs, users, or data states; - the last known good state when evidence exists; - impact, urgency, and any unsafe reproduction boundary. Do not silently redefine expected behavior to match the implementation. If the contract is ambiguous, identify the ambiguity and use repository evidence or user direction before treating either behavior as a defect. ## Follow evidence to cause Read [references/evidence-driven-diagnosis.md](references/evidence-driven-diagnosis.md) when the cause is uncertain, multiple hypotheses are plausible, or a regression must be narrowed through history or controlled experiments. …

How to install
mdr add kodekateam/superior-skills/superior-debugging@sha256:9d07a1ea14945f7eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f413813, 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.
