Each README is written for a human audience, explaining: - What the skill does (not what format it follows) - What benefit the user gets from installing it - Quick setup and usage patterns - When to load/trigger the skill - What scripts, references, and templates it ships data-scientist already had a README — left unchanged. 48 READMEs added across all skill and bundle directories.
Systematic Debugging — 4-Phase Root Cause Protocol
A disciplined 4-phase protocol for debugging technical issues: understand bugs before fixing. No random fixes, no symptom patching — only root cause investigation.
Why Install This Skill
When your agent loads this skill, it becomes a disciplined debugger who follows a proven protocol. That means:
- Phase 1: Understand the bug — reproduce, characterize, and scope before touching any code
- Phase 2: Find root cause — trace symptom to source with evidence, not guesses
- Phase 3: Fix root cause — one fix per root cause, validated before committing
- Phase 4: Verify and learn — test the fix, check for similar issues, document the lesson
- Specialized patterns — schema/environment divergence, exception chain analysis, dependency source detection, API failure characterization

Triggers
Load this for ANY technical issue — test failures, production bugs, unexpected behavior, performance problems, build failures, integration issues. ESPECIALLY when under time pressure.
Requirements
Platform-agnostic. Some sections cover macOS-specific sandbox debugging patterns. Requires access to source code and testing tools.
