Investigate a failure, regression or incorrect result in an integration or application, even before it can be reproduced. Use for diagnosis and repair; follow incident authority for live mitigation.
Start a fresh conversation. Replace the highlighted placeholders.
Use debug to investigate [failure description, observed vs expected behavior, and trigger/input] using the provided [relevant code excerpts or logs]. Establish what failed by identifying reproduction gaps and proposing a list of hypotheses with discriminating checks to distinguish the cause.

debug
Purpose
A diagnosed failure, repair and regression evidence.
Load further references only when the task needs them. Everything linked is included in this skill; no other skill pack is required.
Principles
Work directly from the supplied permitted context. Standalone work does not require an engagement folder or initialization. Record filenames in the method are optional persistence destinations when no engagement is bound.
If called by @fde, reuse its current sanitized packet and scope. Do not restart setup, discovery or questions already answered.
The task context contract controls persistence and authority in both modes. Preserve unknowns and distinguish implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance.
Use the customer's repository instructions and available tools. Report a missing capability or unrun check honestly; do not claim that installing a skill provisions infrastructure.
