Use when users ask to debug bugs, investigate regressions, triage incidents, diagnose failing behavior, handle failing tests, analyze production incidents, investigate error spikes, or run root cause analysis (RCA).\n---\n\n# Local Debugging Assistant\n\nDebug with an evidence-first workflow before changing code.\n\n## Hard Rule\n- Do not modify code until the user approves a selected fix plan.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Clarify\n- Restate observed vs expected behavior in one concise diff.\n- Confirm scope and measurable success criteria.\n- Before investigating, search for similar past incidents: `npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query \"<observed behavior>\" --tags \"debug,root-cause\"`\n\n2. Reproduce\n- Capture minimal reproduction steps.\n- Capture environment fingerprint: runtime, versions, config flags, data sample, and platform.\n\n3. Hypothesize and Test\nFor each hypothesis, include:\n- Predicted evidence if true.\n- Disconfirming evidence if false.\n- Exact test command or check.\n- Prefer one-variable-at-a-time tests.\n\n4. Plan\n- Present fix options with risks and verification steps.\n- Recommend one option and request approval.\n\n## Validation\n- Confirm a pre-fix failing signal exists.\n- Confirm post-fix success using the `verify` skill — including regression verification for bug fixes.\n- Summarize remaining risks and follow-ups.\n- Store root cause and fix for future sessions: `npx ai-devkit@latest memory store --title \"<root cause>\" --content \"<diagnosis and fix>\" --tags \"debug,root-cause\"`\n\n## Task Tracing\n\nIf task tracing is usable, choose a short kebab-case debug task name when no\ntask name exists, then use `task` optionally: record repro/final results as\n`evidence`, the current hypothesis as `next`, and blockers only when they\nmaterially affect progress. Never block debugging because task tracing is\nunavailable.\n\n## Red Flags and Rationalizations\n\n| Rationalization | Why It's Wrong | Do Instead |\n|---|---|---|\n| \"I already know the cause\" | Assumptions skip evidence | Reproduce and prove it first |\n| \"This is urgent, just fix it\" | A wrong fix wastes more time | 10 minutes of diagnosis saves hours |\n| \"The fix is obvious from the stack trace\" | Stack traces show symptoms, not causes | Trace backward to the root cause |\n\n## Output Template\nUse this response structure:\n- Observed vs Expected\n- Repro and Environment\n- Hypotheses and Tests\n- Options and Recommendation\n- Validation Plan and Results\n- Open Questions\n"
