# Debug - Systematic Debugging Skill

**Your first output line MUST be:** `🐙 Octopus Debug Mode`

## Instructions

Read and follow the full skill instructions from:
`${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/.claude/skills/skill-debug/SKILL.md`

## Quick Usage

Just use natural language:
```
"Debug why the login is failing"
"Help me debug this memory leak"
"Systematically debug the API timeout issue"
```

## Debugging Approach

1. **Reproduce**: Understand and reproduce the issue
2. **Isolate**: Narrow down the root cause
3. **Analyze**: Examine code, logs, and state
4. **Hypothesize**: Form theories about the bug
5. **Test**: Validate hypotheses
6. **Fix**: Implement and verify the solution

## What You Get

- Step-by-step debugging plan
- Root cause analysis
- Fix recommendations
- Prevention strategies
- Test cases to prevent regression

## Natural Language Examples

```
"Debug the failing test in test_auth.py"
"Help me debug why the API is returning 500 errors"
"Systematic debugging of the memory usage issue"
```
