debug

Investigate errors and unexpected behavior through reproduction, isolation, diagnosis, and a proposed fix. Receive a structured report covering the root cause, necessary code or configuration changes, and suggested tests to prevent the issue from returning.

OriginalShow the original description

Structured debugging session — reproduce, isolate, diagnose, and fix. Trigger with an error message or stack trace, "this works in staging but not prod", "something broke after the deploy", or when behavior diverges from expected and the cause isn't obvious.

See how to install

Good for

  • Investigate an error message or stack trace
  • Diagnose behavior that differs between staging and production
  • Trace a failure that appeared after deployment
  • Document a fix and regression prevention measures

What I Need From You

Tell me about the problem. Any of these help:

  • Error message or stack trace
  • Steps to reproduce
  • What changed recently
  • Logs or screenshots
  • Expected vs. actual behavior

Output

## Debug Report: [Issue Summary]

### Reproduction
- **Expected**: [What should happen]
- **Actual**: [What happens instead]
- **Steps**: [How to reproduce]

### Root Cause
[Explanation of why the bug occurs]

### Fix
[Code changes or configuration fixes needed]

### Prevention
- [Test to add]
- [Guard to put in place]

If Connectors Available

If ~~monitoring is connected:

  • Pull logs, error rates, and metrics around the time of the issue
  • Show recent deploys and config changes that may correlate

If ~~source control is connected:

  • Identify recent commits and PRs that touched affected code paths
  • Check if the issue correlates with a specific change

If ~~project tracker is connected:

  • Search for related bug reports or known issues
  • Create a ticket for the fix once identified

Tips

  1. Share error messages exactly — Don't paraphrase. The exact text matters.
  2. Mention what changed — Recent deploys, dependency updates, and config changes are top suspects.
  3. Include context — "This works in staging but not prod" or "Only affects large payloads" narrows things fast.
