debugging-patterns

The debugging-patterns skill provides structured root cause analysis frameworks including log-first investigation methodology, git bisect correlation analysis, and pattern-based diagnosis with confidence scoring. Use this skill during the DEBUG workflow investigation phase, when build tests fail unexpectedly, or when reviewing error handling gaps to systematically gather evidence before forming hypotheses.

SKILL.md

## Pattern-Based Diagnosis

- Check patterns.md for known gotchas matching the error
- Cross-reference with common patterns: null pointer, race condition, resource leak, config error
- Rate root cause confidence (>=80% to proceed with fix)

## Evidence Collection

- Stack traces with full call chain
- Error messages with context
- Exit codes from reproduction attempts
- Git blame/log for change correlation
- Environment differences (if applicable)

## When to Use

- During DEBUG workflow investigation phase
- When BUILD tests fail unexpectedly
- When reviewing error handling gaps

## Agents Used

- `bug-investigator` (primary consumer)
- `silent-failure-hunter` (pattern reference)
