debugging-wizard
Parses error messages, traces execution flow through stack traces, correlates log entries to identify failure points, and applies systematic hypothesis-driven methodology to isolate and resolve bugs. Use when investigating errors, analyzing stack traces, finding root causes of unexpected behavior, troubleshooting crashes, or performing log analysis, error investigation, or root cause analysis.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides specific concrete actions, includes comprehensive natural trigger terms users would actually say, explicitly addresses both what the skill does and when to use it, and carves out a distinct debugging/error analysis niche that minimizes conflict risk with other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Parses error messages', 'traces execution flow through stack traces', 'correlates log entries to identify failure points', and 'applies systematic hypothesis-driven methodology to isolate and resolve bugs'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (parses errors, traces execution, correlates logs, applies methodology) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering multiple trigger scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'errors', 'stack traces', 'root causes', 'unexpected behavior', 'crashes', 'log analysis', 'error investigation', 'root cause analysis', 'troubleshooting'. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused on debugging and error analysis with distinct triggers like 'stack traces', 'root cause analysis', and 'log analysis' that are unlikely to conflict with general coding or documentation skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an exemplary skill file that demonstrates excellent token efficiency while providing comprehensive, actionable debugging guidance. The reference table with contextual loading guidance is particularly well-designed, and the executable code examples across multiple languages make this immediately useful. The MUST DO/MUST NOT DO constraints provide clear boundaries without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, avoiding explanations of concepts Claude already knows. Each section serves a clear purpose with no padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable commands for multiple languages (Python pdb, Node.js, Go delve, git bisect) with copy-paste ready examples and clear inline comments explaining each command. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 5-step core workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation built in (reproduce first, test one hypothesis at a time, verify solution). The MUST DO/MUST NOT DO constraints provide clear guardrails and the output template ensures verification. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a concise overview, clear reference table with 'Load When' guidance for one-level-deep navigation to detailed materials, and well-organized sections for quick scanning. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
