Debug Failures With Reproducible Evidence
Bug fixes based on guesses can miss the cause and introduce regressions. This skill guides reproduction, hypothesis testing, focused fixes, and verification with recorded evidence.
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "repro-first-debugging" from https://skillstore.io/skills/agentkitco-repro-first-debugging.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/agentkitco-repro-first-debugging/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Using "repro-first-debugging". Illustrative request: investigate a parser crash when the input is empty.
Expected outcome:
Using "repro-first-debugging". Illustrative request: fix an intermittent crash that cannot be reproduced locally.
Expected outcome:
All four static findings are false positives involving Markdown formatting, legitimate debugging guidance, or a goal statement. No evidence found of malicious command execution, system reconnaissance, exfiltration, or prompt injection in SKILL.md.

Reduce a reported crash to a small reproduction, test plausible causes, and verify a focused correction.
Clarify expected behavior and preserve a failing scenario as an automated test before validating the repair.
Inspect recent changes, collect evidence for competing hypotheses, and report similar patterns without expanding the patch.
Use repro-first-debugging to investigate [failure]. Expected behavior: [expected]. Actual behavior: [actual]. Ask for missing details before attempting reproduction.
Reproduce [test failure] with [test command]. Capture its output and reduce the failing input. Prefer an automated regression test before changing implementation.
Investigate [reproducible failure]. Rank three hypotheses by likelihood and checking cost. Test them and record evidence. Stop if all three fail.
Reproduce [regression] using [command]. Inspect recent changes and test hypotheses. Apply the smallest supported fix. Show before-and-after results and report related patterns without edits.

Verify Tests Ran Before Reporting Completion
Completion claims can hide skipped tests, stale results, or checks that never exercised a change. This skill guides fresh verification and reports evidence for each claim.
Write Pull Request Descriptions From Real Changes
Reviewers need clear explanations of changes, testing, and risk. This skill turns Git diffs and commits into structured pull request descriptions grounded in available evidence.
Upgrade Dependencies With Release Note Verification
Dependency upgrades can introduce breaking changes and obscure existing failures. This skill guides focused upgrades through release notes, baseline checks, targeted edits, and verification reports.
Preserve Progress Across Agent Sessions
Long sessions and agent changes can lose important project context. This skill creates a concise handoff with verified state, decisions, and ordered next steps.
Review Code Changes for Security Risks
Security defects can hide in small changes to input handling, authentication, and configuration. This skill guides scoped code triage with evidence, realistic severity, and actionable fixes.
Review Your Git Changes Before a Pull Request
Unreviewed changes can hide correctness, security, and compatibility problems. This skill guides an evidence-based review with prioritized findings and clearly reported validation results.
Review Defects and Verify Root-Cause Repairs
by aakashh242
Reviews can miss failure conditions or accept fixes without reliable evidence. Gauntlet guides scoped adversarial reviews, authorized repairs, and revision-bound verification within a finite budget.
Debug Errors and Root Causes
by 89jobrien
Errors and incidents are hard to triage when evidence is spread across logs, stack traces, and services. This skill structures diagnosis, parses logs, identifies patterns, and guides minimal fixes.
Debug Technical Failures Systematically
by Asmayaseen
Quick fixes often hide the real cause and create regressions. This skill structures investigation, hypothesis testing, implementation, and verification around collected evidence.
Debug Software Failures Systematically
by shubhamsaboo
Bugs waste engineering time when symptoms hide the real cause. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through structured investigation, hypothesis testing, fixes, and prevention.
Diagnose Bugs and Plan Fixes
by 727474430
Software failures often have unclear causes and scattered evidence. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code to produce structured diagnosis reports with practical repair steps.
Diagnose Errors and Resolve Production Incidents
by sickn33
Complex failures can hide across logs, traces, services, and recent changes. This skill structures evidence, tests hypotheses, and recommends fixes with prevention steps.
