Bug Detective

A systematic debugging workflow for investigating and resolving code errors, exceptions, and failures. Provides structured debugging methods and common error pattern recognition.

Core Philosophy

Debugging is a scientific problem-solving process that requires:

1. Understand the problem - Clearly define symptoms and expected behavior
2. Gather evidence - Collect error messages, logs, stack traces
3. Form hypotheses - Infer possible causes based on evidence
4. Verify hypotheses - Confirm or eliminate causes through experiments
5. Resolve the issue - Apply fixes and verify

Debugging Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Problem

Before starting to debug, clarify the following information:
