Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Error diagnosis and fixing skill. Analyzes errors, traces root causes, and implements fixes. Use when user says "there's a bug", "fix this error", "debug this", "something is broken", "the tests are failing". Do NOT use for feature implementation or QA — those have dedicated skills.Key capabilities
- →Gather evidence from error messages, stack traces, and recent changes
- →Reproduce reported issues to determine consistency
- →Isolate the failure location through narrowing down
- →Analyze the root cause of the problem
- →Implement fixes following the minimal change principle
- →Verify the fix and add regression tests
How it works
The debugger follows a protocol to gather evidence, reproduce the issue, isolate the failure, analyze the root cause, implement a minimal fix, and verify the solution. It logs findings to a memory file.
Inputs & outputs
When to use genius-debugger
- →Fix application errors
- →Debug test failures
- →Identify root causes in production logs
- →Resolve intermittent bugs
About genius-debugger
Gathers evidence from logs, reproduces issues, isolates the failure location, and logs successful solutions to a memory file for future reference.
>-
When not to use it
- →Feature implementation
- →QA tasks
Limitations
- →Does not perform feature implementation
How it compares
This skill provides a structured, methodical debugging protocol with memory integration and classification, unlike an unstructured approach to fixing errors.
