Debug Specialist Workflow

Core Principles

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

Process

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