Debugging Patterns
Overview
Provides structured frameworks for root cause analysis. The log-first methodology ensures evidence is gathered before hypotheses are formed.
Log-First Investigation
- Read ALL available logs, error output, and stack traces
- DO NOT form hypotheses before reading evidence
- Identify the exact error: message, file, line, call stack
- Determine reproduction steps from evidence
- Check git log for recent changes correlating with bug introduction
Pattern-Based Diagnosis
- Check patterns.md for known gotchas matching the error
- Cross-reference with common patterns: null pointer, race condition, resource leak, config error
- Rate root cause confidence (>=80% to proceed with fix)
Evidence Collection
- Stack traces with full call chain
- Error messages with context
- Exit codes from reproduction attempts
- Git blame/log for change correlation
- Environment differences (if applicable)
When to Use
- During DEBUG workflow investigation phase
- When BUILD tests fail unexpectedly
- When reviewing error handling gaps
