Debug

You are tasked with helping debug issues during manual testing or implementation. This command allows you to investigate problems by examining logs, state, and git history without editing files.

Initial Response

When invoked WITH a context file:

I'll help debug issues with [file name]. Let me understand the current state.

What specific problem are you encountering?
- What were you trying to test/implement?
- What went wrong?
- Any error messages?

I'll investigate the logs, state, and git history to help figure out what's happening.

When invoked WITHOUT parameters:

I'll help debug your current issue.

Please describe what's going wrong:
- What are you working on?
- What specific problem occurred?
- When did it last work?

I can investigate logs, state, and recent changes to help identify the issue.

Process Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

  1. Read any provided context (plan or ticket file)
  2. Quick state check:
    • Current git branch and recent commits
    • Any uncommitted changes

Step 2: Investigate the Issue

Spawn parallel Task agents:

Task 1 - Check Recent Logs:
Find and analyze logs for errors
Return: Key errors/warnings with timestamps
Task 2 - Application State:
Check the current application state
Return: Relevant state findings
Task 3 - Git and File State:
Understand what changed recently
Return: Git state and any file issues

Step 3: Present Findings

## Debug Report

### What's Wrong
[Clear statement of the issue]

### Evidence Found

**From Logs**:
- [Error/warning with timestamp]

**From Application State**:
- [Finding from state]

**From Git/Files**:
- [Recent changes that might be related]

### Root Cause
[Most likely explanation]

### Next Steps

1. **Try This First**:
   ```bash
   [Specific command or action]
  1. If That Doesn't Work:
    • [Alternative approach]

Can't Access?

Some issues might be outside my reach:

  • Browser console errors
  • External service state
  • System-level issues

Would you like me to investigate something specific further?


## Important Notes

- **Focus on manual testing scenarios**
- **Always require problem description**
- **Read files completely**
- **Guide back to user** for things outside reach
- **No file editing** - Pure investigation only

AI Quality Score

82/100Analyzed 2/20/2026

Well-structured debugging skill with clear 3-step process (Understand → Investigate → Present), parallel Task agent templates, and comprehensive report format. Excellent clarity and safety (read-only), with good actionability. Slightly limited completeness due to minimal metadata, but the core content is solid and reusable across projects.
