How It Works

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                       DEBUG                                        │

│  Step 1: REPRODUCE                                                │
│  ✓ Understand the expected vs. actual behavior                   │
│  ✓ Identify exact reproduction steps                             │
│  ✓ Determine scope (when did it start? who is affected?)        │
│                                                                    │
│  Step 2: ISOLATE                                                   │
│  ✓ Narrow down the component, service, or code path             │
│  ✓ Check recent changes (deploys, config changes, dependencies) │
│  ✓ Review logs and error messages                                │

│  ✓ Form hypotheses and test them                                 │
│  ✓ Trace the code path                                           │
│  ✓ Identify root cause (not just symptoms)                      │

│  ✓ Propose a fix with explanation                                │
│  ✓ Consider side effects and edge cases                          │

What I Need From You

Tell me about the problem. Any of these help:

• Error message or stack trace
• Steps to reproduce
• What changed recently
• Logs or screenshots
• Expected vs. actual behavior

Output

## Debug Report: [Issue Summary]

### Reproduction
- **Expected**: [What should happen]
- **Actual**: [What happens instead]
- **Steps**: [How to reproduce]

### Root Cause
[Explanation of why the bug occurs]

### Fix
[Code changes or configuration fixes needed]

### Prevention
- [Test to add]
- [Guard to put in place]

If Connectors Available

If ~~monitoring is connected:

• Pull logs, error rates, and metrics around the time of the issue
• Show recent deploys and config changes that may correlate

If ~~source control is connected:

• Identify recent commits and PRs that touched affected code paths
• Check if the issue correlates with a specific change

If ~~project tracker is connected:

• Search for related bug reports or known issues
• Create a ticket for the fix once identified

Tips

1. Share error messages exactly — Don't paraphrase. The exact text matters.
2. Mention what changed — Recent deploys, dependency updates, and config changes are top suspects.
3. Include context — "This works in staging but not prod" or "Only affects large payloads" narrows things fast.
