# Debug — Systematic Bug Investigation

Launch the **debugger** agent to investigate and fix a bug using systematic root cause analysis.

## Determine Scope
1. If the user provides an error message, stack trace, or failing test — pass it directly
2. If the user describes unexpected behavior — pass the description
3. If no specifics given, the debugger will reproduce the issue first

## After Debug
Present the debugger's findings:
- Root cause identified and fixed
- Or: root cause identified, fix needs user decision

If the fix touches multiple files or is complex, suggest running `/devline:review` on the changes.
