Systematic Debugging skill
Provides a structured debugging methodology: reproduce, isolate, hypothesize, test, fix. Includes root-cause tracing for errors that occur deep in execution chains. The agent systematically narrows down bugs rather than guessing at fixes.
Why it matters
Most agents guess at bug fixes and often introduce new ones. Systematic debugging produces reliable fixes with fewer iterations.
