  • Debug configuration set up
  • Error logs accessible
  • Understanding of application architecture

Instructions

  1. Capture Error Context
  2. Analyze with Cascade
  3. Investigate Root Cause
  4. Apply Fix
  5. Document for Prevention

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Root cause analysis
  • Fix recommendations
  • Debug session logs
  • Prevention strategies

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.

Resources

When not to use it

  • When code is not reproducible
  • When debugging configuration is missing

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDECascade enabled

Limitations

  • Requires reproducible issues
  • Depends on Cascade AI availability

How it compares
