debugging
This skill should be used when diagnosing failures, fixing bugs, or investigating why tests don't pass. Contains systematic debugging: reproduce first, read before you change, assume nothing, find root cause.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "incubyte/ai-plugins:bee/skills/debugging" 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/incubyte/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins && ln -s /tmp/ai-plugins/bee/skills/debugging ~/.claude/skills/debugging
From README
Debugging Read and analyze first, change code last. Most debugging failures come from jumping to fixes before understanding the problem. --- Reproduce First Confirm the failure before touching anything. Run the failing test, hit the failing endpoint, trigger the broken flow. If you can't reproduce it, you don't understand it yet. --- Read Everything Before theorizing, read: The full error — the entire stack trace, not just the first line. The root cause is often buried deeper. The logs — application logs, server output, build output. They often tell you exactly what went wrong. The browser console — for frontend: console errors, network failures, failed requests, and CORS issues tell you more than the UI does. Check the Network tab for status codes and response bodies. The code — trace the actual execution path from entry point to failure. Don't guess what the code does — read it.
