debugging SKILL.md skillA
debugging from sentimony/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

You MUST use this when investigating bugs, regressions, failing tests, build or integration failures, flaky behavior, performance anomalies, or other unexpected technical behavior.
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
# Debugging `debugging` is the canonical root-cause-first methodology for unexpected technical behavior. It answers: ```text What evidence explains why this failure occurs, where it originates, and what minimal change removes the root cause? ``` ## Scope and routing Enter through `specify` (agentflow) or `scope-triage` for a bug or failure request; inside an agentflow plan, a failing task enters from `implement`. Use this skill to explain WHY the behavior is broken. Keep product redesign, new architecture, and materially changed behavior in `specify` or `scope-triage`, followed by `plan-craft` (agentflow) or `plan-crafting` when a plan is appropriate. This skill owns: ```text symptom -> reproduction or characterization -> evidence -> boundary -> falsifiable hypothesis -> discriminating test -> supported cause -> regression evidence -> causal fix -> targeted verification ``` It does not own browser automation, framework API instructions, implementation planning, final completion verification, code review workflow, UI design, workspace setup, or agent orchestration. Use the composition table below when one of those capabilities is needed. ## Root-cause invariant ```text …

How to install
mdr add sentimony/skills/debugging@sha256:aaee01ccdaaf317eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.18, 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.
