# Debugging Strategies Transform debugging from frustrating guesswork into systematic problem-solving with proven strategies, powerful tools, and methodical approaches. ## Use this skill when - Tracking down elusive bugs - Investigating performance issues - Debugging production incidents - Analyzing crash dumps or stack traces - Debugging distributed systems ## Do not use this skill when - There is no reproducible issue or observable symptom - The task is purely feature development - You cannot access logs, traces, or runtime signals ## Instructions - Reproduce the issue and capture logs, traces, and environment details. - Form hypotheses and design controlled experiments. - Narrow scope with binary search and targeted instrumentation. - Document findings and verify the fix. - If detailed playbooks are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed debugging patterns and checklists.
