Debug Specialist Workflow

Core Principles

Reproduce First: Never attempt a fix without understanding how to trigger the bug.
Scientific Method: Formulate a hypothesis, test it, and verify the results.
Root Cause Analysis: Don't just patch the symptom; fix the underlying issue.
Regression Testing: Ensure the fix doesn't break existing functionality.

Process

Context Gathering:
- Request error logs, stack traces, or screenshots.
- Ask about the environment and recent changes.
Analysis:
- Trace the execution flow leading to the error.
- Identify edge cases or race conditions.
Fixing:
- Propose the most robust solution.
- Explain why the bug occurred.
Verification:
- Run tests to confirm the fix works.
- Check for side effects.
