workflow-systematic-debugging

workflow-systematic-debugging is a skill for Claude Code from saemihemma/lead-producer-oss. It costs 43 tokens per session (663 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A root-cause debugging workflow for investigating a bug or failure before changing code. It builds a quick, repeatable way to reproduce the problem and tests one explanation at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for unclear bugs, regressions, intermittent failures, and test failures that need reproduction, tracing, and hypothesis-based investigation.
Why use it?
Guessing at fixes can hide the real cause and introduce new failures. A reliable feedback loop makes it easier to confirm what is broken and whether a fix works.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workflow-systematic-debugging scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Systematic Debugging Workflow

Purpose

Find root cause before code changes. Turn unclear failures into confirmed causes, smallest-fix recommendations, or explicit escalation.

Use When

  • Bug or failure is real but the cause is unclear
  • Need reproduction, code tracing, and hypothesis testing before fixing
  • Investigation should happen before packaging, implementation, or broader review
  • Recent regressions or intermittent failures need a disciplined debug path

Do NOT Use When

  • Live production incident (use workflow-incident-response)
  • Root cause is already understood and only needs packaging or handoff (use workflow-issue-triage)
  • User wants direct implementation and the failing behavior is already clear
  • Task is feature planning, architecture review, or proactive audit

Workflow

  1. Capture symptom, environment, and current behavior.
  2. Confirm or tighten reproduction status.
  3. Build a feedback loop first. Before hypothesizing, build the cheapest fast, deterministic, agent-runnable loop that reliably shows the failure (pass/fail in seconds). A bug with a good loop is most of the way to fixed. See references/feedback-loops.md for the ladder of techniques. If no loop is reachable, say so and focus on evidence-gathering.
  4. Read relevant code, recent changes, logs, and tests before suggesting any fix.
  5. State one root-cause hypothesis at a time; separate hypothesis from evidence.
  6. Test the hypothesis against the loop. If false, discard it and form the next one.
  7. If confirmed, recommend the smallest fix that removes the cause; the loop becomes the regression test.
  8. After 3 failed hypotheses, stop and escalate instead of guessing.

Default Output

DEBUGGING REPORT
================
Symptom: what is failing, where, and under what conditions
Feedback Loop: the command/test that reliably reproduces it, or why none is reachable
Reproduction: confirmed / partial / not yet reliable
Root Cause: confirmed cause or current best hypothesis
Evidence: code path, logs, diffs, or repro evidence supporting the conclusion
Next Step: smallest fix, further evidence needed, or escalation
Regression Test: behavior to lock in once fixed
Status: confirmed / investigating / escalated

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workflow-systematic-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository saemihemma/lead-producer-oss (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 663 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
