Bug Fixing

🐛 Bug Fixing / Debugging

Group Skill — Orchestrates sub-skills for finding and fixing bugs systematically. Activate by saying: "Fix this bug" or "debug this issue"

When to Use

• Something is broken in production or dev
• Need to find and fix root cause
• Prevent regressions

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Diagnose

Skill: systematic-debugging

• Methodical root cause analysis
• Eliminate hypotheses systematically
• Document findings

Step 2: Error Analysis

Skill: error-diagnostics-smart-debug

• Smart error pattern matching
• Classify error type
• Identify affected components

Step 3: Trace Logs

Skill: distributed-tracing

• Follow request flow across services
• Check error propagation
• Verify data flow

Step 4: Performance

Skill: performance-profiling

• Find slow code paths
• Check memory usage
• Identify bottlenecks

Step 5: Fix

Skill: debugger + debugging-toolkit-smart-debug

• Apply targeted fix
• Minimize scope of change
• Verify no side effects

Step 6: Regression Test

Skill: tdd-workflow

• Write test that reproduces bug
• Ensure test fails without fix
• Verify test passes with fix

Step 7: Code Review

Skill: code-reviewer

• Verify fix quality
• Check for edge cases
• Review related code

Step 8: Postmortem

Skill: incident-response-incident-response

• Document what happened
• Identify root cause
• Define prevention measures

Completion

Bug is fixed, tested, reviewed, and documented. 🐛
