Systematic Debugging
/runesleo-systematic-debuggingFour-phase debugging framework that ensures root cause investigation before attempting fixes. Never jump to solutions.
Skill created by the community and listed sinceClawHub . Canonical source:https://clawhub.ai/skills/runesleo-systematic-debugging Version: 3.0.0 Source changelog: - Major update: Introduces a comprehensive four-phase (plus pre-phase) debugging process focused on root cause analysis before any fixes. - Adds a mandatory Phase 0: Context Recall, which explicitly requires gathering prior knowledge and analyzing the project context before investigating or proposing fixes. - Clearly defines a strict phase order (Context Recall → Root Cause Investigation → Pattern Analysis → Hypothesis & Testing → Implementation) with rules to prevent skipping steps or guessing fixes. - Expands guidance for multi-component systems, systematic data/log collection, and evidence-based analysis. - Includes red flags and common rationalizations to help users avoid pitfalls and maintain disciplined debugging. - Emphasizes creating tests before fixing issues and sets strict limits on repeated failed fixes (triggers an architectural review after three unsuccessful attempts).
