Debug Trace Analysis

Use this skill when

  • a run failed
  • execution got stuck
  • behaviour is inconsistent
  • a retry loop appeared
  • the root cause is unclear

Goals

  • reconstruct the timeline
  • find the first divergence
  • separate root cause from downstream symptoms
  • support a minimal correct fix

Process

  1. Define the symptom.
  2. Gather identifiers and evidence.
  3. Reconstruct the timeline.
  4. Compare expected versus actual transitions.
  5. Find the first divergence.
  6. Identify root cause.
  7. Propose a fix.
  8. Recommend hardening.

Output contract

Return:

  • symptom
  • evidence
  • timeline
  • divergence point
  • root cause
  • fix
  • hardening recommendations
