Debugging and Error Recovery

About this Skill

Find root causes through reproduction, localization, reduction, repair and regression protection. Preserve the failure evidence, reduce the reproducer and repair the root cause before resuming feature work.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

• Tests, builds or runtime behavior fail unexpectedly.

Workflow and deliverables

Preserve the failure evidence, reduce the reproducer and repair the root cause before resuming feature work.

A documented root cause, focused fix, regression check and verification of the original failure scenario.

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

• An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
• Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
• Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
