Advanced Debugger Skill

Objective

To prevent the agent from blindly guessing solutions or wildly changing code when facing a bug. This skill enforces the "Scientific Debugging Method" using verifiable logging and stack trace analysis.

When to Execute

Whenever resolving an issue labeled as a "bug".
Whenever a test fails during execution.
Whenever a runtime error or unexpected output occurs.

Execution Steps

Hypothesis Formulation:
- STOP. Do not change the application logic yet.
- Read the error message or stack trace carefully.
- Formulate 1-3 hypotheses about what could be causing the issue (e.g., "Null pointer at line X because the API returned empty").
Probe Insertion (Language-Agnostic):
- Insert temporary logging or debugging probes into the code to verify the hypothesis.
- Use the appropriate syntax for the language:
  - Python: print(), logging.debug()
  - PHP: var_dump(), error_log()
  - JS/TS: console.log()
  - Java/C#: System.out.println(), Console.WriteLine()
  - Go: fmt.Printf()
Execution & Evidence Gathering:
- Run the specific file, test, or trigger the endpoint.
- Collect the output of the probes.
Analysis & Targeted Fix:
- Did the probe output confirm the hypothesis?
  - Yes: Implement the targeted fix for the logic.
  - No: Remove the old probes, formulate a new hypothesis, and repeat Step 2.
Cleanup:
- Once the bug is fixed, MUST remove all temporary debugging probes (print, console.log, etc.) before committing the code.
