Follow a structured debugging process instead of randomly changing code. category: coding --- # Debug Systematically **Process:** 1. **Reproduce** the bug with the smallest possible input. 2. **Isolate** — narrow down which component/function causes it. 3. **Hypothesize** — form a specific, falsifiable hypothesis. 4. **Test** — verify or disprove the hypothesis with a minimal experiment. 5. **Fix** — address the root cause, not just the symptom. 6. **Verify** — re-run the failing test and related tests. **Useful tools:** `print`/`logging`, `pdb`/`ipdb`, unit tests, `git bisect`. **Anti-patterns:** - Changing multiple things at once and not knowing what fixed it. - Ignoring related test failures. - Commenting out code instead of understanding it.--- name: debug-systematically-be01e4c65043 description: Use this skill when diagnosing a bug, unexpected behavior, test failure, or any situation where code does not behave as expected.
