debugging
Debug Code Issues Systematically
Bugs waste engineering time when symptoms hide the real cause. This skill guides structured reproduction, isolation, root cause analysis, fixes, and regression prevention.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "debugging" from https://skillstore.io/skills/supercent-io-debugging.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/supercent-io-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.

Test it
Using "debugging". A function fails only when a user ID is missing from the data store.
Expected outcome:
- Summary of the observed failure and expected behavior.
- Likely root cause: missing empty-state handling for absent users.
- Suggested fix path with validation and a regression test.
Using "debugging". A test passes locally but fails in continuous integration without a stable pattern.
Expected outcome:
- Checklist for environment differences, timing, shared state, and dependency versions.
- Isolation plan to confirm or reject a race condition.
- Verification steps to prove the fix before merge.
Using "debugging". A service slows down after processing large batches for several minutes.
Expected outcome:
- Memory and performance investigation steps.
- Likely causes such as retained collections or missing cleanup.
- Prevention plan with profiling evidence and regression coverage.
Security Audit
SafeAll static findings were adjudicated as false positives after reviewing SKILL.md and SKILL.toon. The flagged external-command items are Markdown fences or safe diagnostic examples, and the flagged URLs are reference links. No evidence found for prompt injection, malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized network behavior.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Triage Runtime Errors
Use a repeatable workflow to capture stack traces, recent changes, and environment details before changing code.
Stabilize Intermittent Tests
Investigate flaky behavior with isolation steps, race-condition checks, and targeted regression tests.
Review Incident Fixes
Connect symptoms to root causes, verify the fix, and document prevention steps after a production issue.
Try These Prompts
Help me debug this error. I will share the full message, stack trace, expected result, and actual result.
Create a minimal reproduction plan for this bug. Include inputs, setup, expected behavior, actual behavior, and isolation steps.
Analyze this failing behavior and recent changes. Identify likely root causes, what evidence supports each one, and what to verify next.
Review this proposed fix. Define verification steps, edge cases, regression tests, and prevention notes for future incidents.
Best Practices
- Start with the full error, expected behavior, actual behavior, and reproduction steps.
- Change one variable at a time so each observation has a clear cause.
- Add a regression test after the fix so the same bug is caught early.
Avoid
- Changing code before reproducing the failure or reading the complete error.
- Treating symptoms as root causes without checking recent changes and assumptions.
- Skipping verification after a fix because the first test run passed.
