mindforge-debug

Orchestrator role: Gather symptoms, spawn mindforge-debugger agent, handle checkpoints, spawn continuations.

Why subagent: Investigation burns context fast (reading files, forming hypotheses, testing). Fresh 200k context per investigation. Main context stays lean for user interaction.

Check for active sessions:

ls .planning/debug/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v resolved | head -5

0. Initialize Context

INIT=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" state load)
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi

Extract commit_docs from init JSON. Resolve debugger model:

debugger_model=$(node ".agent/bin/mindforge-tools.cjs" resolve-model mindforge-debugger --raw)

1. Check Active Sessions

If active sessions exist AND no $ARGUMENTS:

• List sessions with status, hypothesis, next action
• User picks number to resume OR describes new issue

If $ARGUMENTS provided OR user describes new issue:

• Continue to symptom gathering

2. Gather Symptoms (if new issue)

Use AskUserQuestion for each:

1. Expected behavior - What should happen?
2. Actual behavior - What happens instead?
3. Error messages - Any errors? (paste or describe)
4. Timeline - When did this start? Ever worked?
5. Reproduction - How do you trigger it?

After all gathered, confirm ready to investigate.

3. Spawn mindforge-debugger Agent

Fill prompt and spawn:

<objective>
Investigate issue: {slug}

**Summary:** {trigger}
</objective>

<symptoms>
expected: {expected}
actual: {actual}
errors: {errors}
reproduction: {reproduction}
timeline: {timeline}
</symptoms>

<mode>
symptoms_prefilled: true
goal: find_and_fix
</mode>

<debug_file>
Create: .planning/debug/{slug}.md
</debug_file>

Task(
  prompt=filled_prompt,
  subagent_type="mindforge-debugger",
  model="{debugger_model}",
  description="Debug {slug}"
)
