Debug Like Expert

Deep analysis debugging mode for complex issues. This skill activates methodical investigation protocols with evidence gathering, hypothesis testing, and rigorous verification when standard troubleshooting has failed.

The skill emphasizes treating code you wrote with MORE skepticism than unfamiliar code, as cognitive biases about "how it should work" can blind you to actual implementation errors. Use scientific method to systematically identify root causes rather than applying quick fixes.

# What files are we debugging?
echo "FILE_TYPES:"
find . -maxdepth 2 -type f 2>/dev/null | grep -E '\.(py|js|jsx|ts|tsx|rs|swift|c|cpp|go|java)$' | head -10

# Check for domain indicators

[ -f "*.xcodeproj" ] || [ -f "Package.swift" ] && echo "DETECTED: Swift/macOS project"
