How does this skill handle bugs I can't reproduce?

It provides a specific workflow for intermittent bugs, including adding strategic logging and checking environmental factors like browser versions, cache, or timing-dependent race conditions.

Can this skill help with production outages?

Yes, it includes specialized protocols for production bugs, prioritizing user impact and providing guidance on checking monitoring tools like Sentry or server logs.

Is this skill only for technical developers?

No, it is specifically optimized for solo and non-technical founders using AI tools by providing structured templates to gather the technical info the AI needs to be successful.

What should I do if the AI fails to fix a bug after several attempts?

The skill includes an 'escalation discipline' that advises stopping after two failed fixes to reassess the diagnosis and rethink the approach rather than continuing to guess.

Security & Testing

Resolves application errors and failures through a disciplined, diagnostic-first approach optimized for solo founders.

The Debug skill provides a structured framework for identifying and fixing software bugs without guesswork. It guides users through gathering diagnostic information, reproducing issues consistently, and performing deep root cause analysis. Designed specifically for solo developers and non-technical founders, it bridges the gap between seeing an error and implementing a verified fix across environments like Claude Code, Lovable, and Replit, ensuring that fixes address the underlying problem rather than just symptoms.

Key Features

01Step-by-step reproduction workflows to isolate and verify intermittent issues.

02Structured 'Tell AI' templates for browser console, network errors, and visual bugs.

03Deep root cause analysis using the '5 Whys' technique to prevent bug recurrence.

04Escalation protocols to prevent 'fix-loop' fatigue after multiple failed attempts.

05Automated diagnostic gathering for Claude Code environments including git history and logs.
