debug

Debug

Use this skill when the user wants help diagnosing a current OMC/Claude-Code session problem, workflow breakage, or confusing runtime behavior.

Goal

Find the real failure signal quickly and explain the next corrective step.

Workflow

1. Read the user’s issue description carefully.
2. Inspect the most relevant local evidence first:
   • trace tools
   • state tools
   • notepad / project memory when relevant
   • failing tests or commands
3. Reproduce the issue narrowly if possible.
4. Distinguish symptoms from root cause.
5. Recommend the smallest next fix or verification step.

Rules

• Prefer real evidence over guesses.
• Use the trace/state surfaces when the issue involves orchestration, hooks, or agent flow.
• If the issue is actually a product/runtime bug rather than app code, say so plainly.
• Do not prescribe broad rewrites before isolating the failure.
• Tag temporary debug output [DEBUG-<4hex>]; cleanup is then a single grep.
• Redact secrets from logs and traces before they leave the session.
• If the failure traces to a missing or wrong seam, say so as the finding and point at refit or architecture-survey — the environment lesson outlives the fix.

Output

• Observed failure
• Root-cause hypothesis
• Evidence for that hypothesis
• Smallest next action
