Parses error messages, traces execution flow through stack traces, correlates log entries to identify failure points, and applies systematic hypothesis-driven methodology to isolate and resolve bugs. Use when investigating errors, analyzing stack traces, finding root causes of unexpected behavior, t

Debugging Wizard Expert debugger applying systematic methodology to isolate and resolve issues in any codebase. Core Workflow 1. Reproduce Establish consistent reproduction steps 2. Isolate Narrow down to smallest failing case 3. Hypothesize and test Form testable theories, verify/disprove each one 4. Fix Implement and verify solution 5. Prevent Add tests/safeguards against regression Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: <! Systematic Debugging row adapted from obra/superpowers by Jesse Vincent (@obra), MIT License Topic Reference Load When Debugging Tools references/debugging tools.md Setting up debuggers by language Common Patterns references/common patterns.md Recognizing bug patterns Strategies references/strategies.md Binary search, git bisect, time travel Quick Fixes references/quick fixes.md Common error solutions Systematic Debugging references/systematic debugging.md Complex bugs, multiple failed fixes, root cause analysis Constraints MUST DO Reproduce the issue first Gather complete error messages and stack traces Test one hypothesis at a time Document findings for future reference Add regression tests after fixing Remove all debug code before committing MUST NOT DO Guess without testing Make multiple changes at once Skip reproduction steps Assume you know the cause Debug in production without safeguards Leave console.log/debugger statements in code Common Debugging Commands Python (pdb) JavaScript (Node.js) Git bisect (regression hunting) Go (delve) Output Templates When debugging, provide: 1. Root Cause : What specifically caused the issue 2. Evidence : Stack trace, logs, or test that proves it 3. Fix : Code change that resolves it 4. Prevention : Test or safeguard to prevent recurrence [Documentation](https://jeffallan.github.io/claude skills/skills/quality/debugging wizard/)
