Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin:ce-debug" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin && ln -s /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin/skills/ce-debug ~/.claude/skills/ce-debugFrom README
Debug and Fix Find the root cause of a failure, then — when the user chooses to — fix it with test-first discipline. Done when: the causal chain from trigger to symptom is stated with no gaps and file:line evidence, and either a verified fix has been handed off (PR, commit, or the user's chosen stop) or a diagnosis-only summary has been delivered. Escalate rather than persist: 2-3 hypotheses exhausted without confirmation, or 3 failed fix attempts, means diagnose why instead of trying again — that is the smart escalation references/investigate.md describes. One hypothesis, one change at a time; changing several to see what helps is shotgun debugging. is whatever this skill was invoked with — a failure description, a mode: token, or an issue reference (#123, org/repo#123, an issue URL) — from the user or from a calling skill (ce-babysit-pr / lfg in mode:pipeline pass the failing jobs and log tails; lfg's defect route passes mode:return-to-caller and the user's own reference).
