debug from kanevry/session-orchestrator is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, build break, or unexpected behavior — runs a 4-phase systematic debugging process before proposing any fix. Iron Law: NO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE INVESTIGATION FIRST. Produces a `.orchestrator/debug/` artifact the fixer agent must reference.

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 Skill

> 4-phase root-cause investigation. Iron Law: no fix without root cause.

## Invocation

The user invokes `/debug` with arguments: **$ARGUMENTS**.

The optional argument is a short bug description or issue reference (e.g. `"test timeout in CI"` or `#408`). If absent, inspect recent errors and `git log` to surface the most likely candidate, then confirm it with the user before starting Phase 1.

The four phases (Root Cause → Pattern → Impact → Solution) run in order, and the Phase-1 artifact at `.orchestrator/debug/<session-id>-<sequence>.md` is written before any fix code exists — it is a prerequisite for Phase 4, not optional documentation.

## When to use

- Any test failure (unit, integration, E2E)
- Build break or compile error
- Runtime exception in production code
- Performance regression
- Integration issue between modules
- "It worked yesterday" bugs

## When NOT to use

- Feature implementation (use `/plan` or wave-executor)
- Pure refactoring with no broken behavior
- Style/lint fixes with no behavioral impact

## Phase 0: Bootstrap Gate

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kanevry/session-orchestrator/debug@sha256:7e7fec6f14b045ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.3ebf0e9, 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.
