A four-phase, evidence-first debugging methodology agent skill: gather evidence, analyze patterns, formulate hypotheses, and implement & prove fixes.
Adds a structured debugging workflow for agents and developers. The skill prescribes a four-phase method (Gather, Analyze, Formulate, Implement) with clear gating outputs for each phase, templates for evidence and analysis, reproducible test design, and a three-strike rule to prevent blind fixes. It focuses on reproducibility, hypothesis-driven testing, and creating reversible checkpoints.
Invoke when encountering bugs, test failures, or unexpected behavior—especially when previous quick fixes failed. Use it before proposing or applying fixes to ensure root-cause understanding, to design minimal tests that reproduce problems, and to produce a verifiable fix + regression test. Useful for agents assisting in code review, incident triage, or developer workflows.
Designed for agents with Read/Edit/Bash capabilities (Copilot, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor) that can run diagnostic commands and author patches or commit messages.
A four-phase debugging methodology skill (Gather, Analyze, Formulate, Implement) with clear phase-gating and output templates. No scripts — pure prompt-driven workflow. Well-structured with anti-rationalization table and three-strike rule for failed hypotheses. Clean frontmatter with allowed-tools constraint.
No security concerns whatsoever — no network calls, no credentials, no destructive commands. Git commands are standard and safe. The skill is well-designed for its purpose.
Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Run disciplined TDD cycles: write a failing test, implement the minimal fix, then refactor — for features and bugfixes where correctness matters.
/verify — Verification Before Completion
Run fresh verification commands (tests, build, lint, types) and require full output evidence before claiming work is complete or merging changes.
/learn — Interactive Learning Mode
Teaching-first implementation assistant: explains why decisions are made, walks through architecture, and produces incremental code with pedagogy for onboarding
Adaptive Planning (/plan)
Generate an implementation plan matched to task complexity — from quick mini-plans to full design documents — before writing code or making large changes.
Grill (Adversarial Code Challenge)
Performs adversarial stress-testing of code to find edge cases, race conditions, security holes, and logical flaws before deployment.
Smart Commit (conventional commit generator)
Generate and apply conventional commit messages with automatic type & scope detection plus pre-commit validation for secrets and debug artifacts.
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
Audit landing pages and user flows to find conversion friction and deliver prioritized, testable A/B recommendations.
Migration: Migrate Module
Automates a multi-phase migration of an Angular module to a target architecture with approval gates and validation after each phase.
Next.js: Migration — Migrate Component
Convert a Next.js Pages Router component/page to the App Router pattern, updating routing, data fetching, and component boundaries for Next.js App Router.
Review Review
Use when code changes need review before merge - validates architecture, types, security, and test coverage.
