Fixes a bug through a runnable reproduction and its root cause. Use for errors, crashes, failing tests or builds, flaky behavior, or repeated failed fixes.

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

Find and fix bugs by following a strict process: no fixes without root cause first.

Why this matters: Random fixes feel faster but often introduce new bugs and leave the original cause in place. A few minutes of real investigation—reproduce, trace, hypothesize—usually leads to one right fix instead of a long chain of patches. It works the same whether you’re in a Node app, a Python script, or a distributed system: understand, then change.

## Core principle

No fix until the root cause is found: a fix aimed at a symptom leaves the cause in place and usually adds a new bug. Propose a fix only after Phase 1.

Redact before you show anything. This skill quotes commands, outputs and captured artifacts back to the user, and the transcript leaves the machine. Write `<REDACTED>` in place of every token, password, connection string, cookie and customer identifier; build loops against environment variables so the credential stays in the environment rather than in the command you paste; and from a captured artifact (a HAR file, a log dump, a request trace) quote only the lines carrying the signal, because auth headers ride in the rest. If the redacted output is…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-bug-fix@sha256:f9926f49b2e6d743

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.58ea4e8, 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.
