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.

Use when asked to debug, fix a bug, investigate an error, or do root cause analysis, and when users report errors, stack traces, unexpected behavior, or say something stopped working.

Key capabilities

  • →Collect symptoms, error messages, and stack traces.
  • →Trace code paths from symptoms to potential causes.
  • →Check recent git changes for regressions.
  • →Formulate testable root cause hypotheses.
  • →Implement the smallest change that eliminates the actual problem.

How it works

The skill follows a systematic debugging process: collecting symptoms, reading code, checking recent changes, reproducing the bug, and formulating a root cause hypothesis. It then tests the hypothesis, implements a minimal fix, and verifies it with a regression test.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Error messages, stack traces, reproduction steps, or bug report
You get back
A debug report with symptom, root cause, fix, evidence, and regression test

When to use gstack-openclaw-investigate

  • →Investigate a sudden application crash
  • →Trace root cause of a regression
  • →Analyze recurring production errors
  • →Check recent git logs for culprit

About gstack-openclaw-investigate

Gathers error logs and stack traces. Analyzes code paths and recent git changes. Formulates testable root cause hypotheses before patching.

Use when asked to debug, fix a bug, investigate an error, or do root cause analysis, and when users report errors, stack traces, unexpected behavior, or say something stopped working.

When not to use it

  • →When the user wants to fix symptoms without root cause investigation.
  • →When the user wants to propose a fix before tracing data flow.
  • →When 3 hypotheses have failed and the issue might be architectural.

Limitations

  • →No fixes without root cause investigation first.
  • →Requires a regression test that fails without the fix and passes with it.
  • →If fix touches >5 files, it flags the blast radius to the user.

How it compares

This skill enforces a structured, evidence-based debugging methodology, prioritizing root cause analysis and verification over symptom-fixing, which is more reliable than ad-hoc debugging.
