Debug Issue
Use the knowledge graph to systematically trace and debug issues.
Steps
- Use
semantic_search_nodes_toolto find code related to the issue. - Use
query_graph_toolwithcallers_ofandcallees_ofto trace call chains. - Use
get_flowto see full execution paths through suspected areas. - Run
detect_changes_toolto check if recent changes caused the issue. - Use
get_impact_radius_toolon suspected files to see what else is affected.
Tips
- Check both callers and callees to understand the full context.
- Look at affected flows to find the entry point that triggers the bug.
- Recent changes are the most common source of new issues.
Token Efficiency Rules
- ALWAYS start with
get_minimal_context(task="<your task>")before any other graph tool. - Use
detail_level="minimal"on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient. - Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.

Said here and by no other author read
- call get_minimal_context first
- use detail_level minimal on all calls
- use semantic_search_nodes_tool to find related code
- trace call chains with query_graph_tool
- view execution paths with get_flow
- run detect_changes_tool to find recent changes
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.
