Individual skill

debug

Diagnosis before prescription: reproduce, hypothesize, isolate, fix root cause, add a regression test; refactor mode maps deps, coupling and blast radius. Triggers: bug, error, fix, broken, not working, crashed, stack trace, exception, refactor, restructure, coupling, dependency map.

<skill id="debug">

<purpose>
Debugging is forming and testing a THEORY that explains the bug.
Not random changes. Not guessing. Scientific method applied to code.
DEFECT (in code) → INFECTION (in state) → FAILURE (visible symptom).
The failure you see is NOT where the bug is. Binary search upstream.
Systematic methodology beats ad-hoc guessing. The process is the multiplier.

Diagnosis comes before prescription: a surgeon cutting before the X-ray is guessing with a
knife. Two modes, same discipline. `bug` (default) is the steps below. `refactor` swaps the
subject from a failure to a structure, and produces a plan instead of a fix.
