Systematic Debugging Workflow
I'll help you debug issues systematically using the scientific method - hypothesis formation, testing, and iterative refinement.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - error description, reproduction steps, or context
Token Optimization
Expected range: 1,500–3,000 tokens (initial), 400 tokens (cache hit)
Caching: Caches debug state in .claude/cache/debug/ for 7 days.
Early exit: Returns immediately if error pattern matches a known cached solution.
Patterns used: Grep-before-Read, early exit, caching, progressive disclosure
What ships with it

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
