| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| “This probably just needs a quick patch” | Patch-first debugging creates rework. |
| “Let’s try a few fixes” | Multi-fix guessing hides root cause. |
| “The spec is probably wrong, I’ll adapt it” | Spec conflicts must be surfaced explicitly. |
| “The docs search is optional” | For runtime/dependency issues, docs and version issues often contain the shortest path to root cause. |

Use when an implementer is blocked, verification fails, or repeated remediation does not converge. allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch argument-hint: <failure-summary> --- # kiro-debug ## Overview This skill is for fresh-context root cause investigation. It combines local evidence, runtime/config inspection, and external documentation or issue research when available. It is not a patch generator for guess-first debugging. ## When to Use - Implementer reports `BLOCKED` - Reviewer rejection repeats after remediation - Validation fails unexpectedly - A task appears to conflict with runtime or platform reality - The same failure survives more than one attempted fix Do not use this skill to speculate about fixes before gathering evidence. ## Inputs Provide: - Exact failure symptom or blocker statement - Error messages, stack trace, and failing command output - Current `git diff` or summary of uncommitted failed changes - Task brief: what was being built - Reviewer feedback, if the failure came from review rejection - Relevant spec file paths (`requirements.md`, `design.md`) - Relevant requirement/design section numbers - Relevant `## Implementation Notes` - Runtime or environment constraints already known ## Outputs Return: - `ROOT_CAUSE` - `CATEGORY` - `FIX_PLAN` - `VERIFICATION` - `NEXT_ACTION: RETRY_TASK | BLOCK_TASK | STOP_FOR_HUMAN` - `CONFIDENCE: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW` - `NOTES` Use the language specified in `spec.json`. ## Method ### 1. Read the Error Carefully Extract: - Exact error text - Stack trace or failure location - The command that produced the failure - Whether the failure is deterministic or intermittent ### 2. Inspect Local Runtime and Repository State Inspect the repository for local evidence: - `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`, `Makefile`, `README*` - Build config - `tsconfig` or equivalent language/runtime config - Runtime-specific config - Dependency versions and scripts - Relevant changed files from `git diff` ### 3. Search the Web if Available If web access is available, search: - The exact error message - The technology + symptom combination - Official documentation - Version-specific issue trackers or migration notes Prefer: - Official docs - Official repos/issues - Version-specific references - Runtime-specific documentation ### 4. Classify the Root Cause Use one category: - `MISSING_DEPENDENCY` - `RUNTIME_MISMATCH` - `MODULE_FORMAT` - `NATIVE_ABI` - `CONFIG_GAP` - `LOGIC_ERROR` - `TASK_ORDERING_PROBLEM` - `TASK_DECOMPOSITION_PROBLEM` - `SPEC_CONFLICT` - `EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY` ### 5. Determine the Smallest Safe Next Action Decide whether the issue can be fixed inside this repo by: - Editing files - Adjusting configuration - Adding or correcting dependencies - Restructuring code Use `NEXT_ACTION: RETRY_TASK` when the issue is repo-fixable inside the current approved task plan. ### 6. Determine Whether the Task Plan Is Still Valid Decide whether the current approved task plan is still safe to execute as written. Prefer `NEXT_ACTION: STOP_FOR_HUMAN` when: - A missing prerequisite task should exist before this one - The current task is ordered incorrectly relative to unfinished work - The current task boundary is wrong and should be split or merged - The task is too large or ambiguous to fix safely inside the current implementation loop Use `NEXT_ACTION: BLOCK_TASK` only when the current task should stop but the rest of the queue can still proceed safely. Do not propose a brute-force code fix as a substitute for revising `tasks.md` or the approved plan. ## Critical Rule Do not propose a multi-fix shotgun plan. Identify the root cause first, then produce the smallest plausible fix plan. If the true problem is a spec conflict or architecture problem, say so directly. ## Stop / Escalate Use `NEXT_ACTION: STOP_FOR_HUMAN` when the blocker genuinely requires: - Human product/requirements decision - External credentials or inaccessible services - Hardware or unavailable external systems - Re-scoping due to spec/platform conflict If the issue is fixable by repo changes inside the current task plan, do not escalate prematurely. ## Common Rationalizations | Rationalization | Reality | |---|---| | “This probably just needs a quick patch” | Patch-first debugging creates rework. | | “Let’s try a few fixes” | Multi-fix guessing hides root cause. | | “The spec is probably wrong, I’ll adapt it” | Spec conflicts must be surfaced explicitly. | | “The docs search is optional” | For runtime/dependency issues, docs and version issues often contain the shortest path to root cause. | ## Output Format ```md ## Debug Report - ROOT_CAUSE: <1-2 sentence root cause> - CATEGORY: MISSING_DEPENDENCY | RUNTIME_MISMATCH | MODULE_FORMAT | NATIVE_ABI | CONFIG_GAP | LOGIC_ERROR | TASK_ORDERING_PROBLEM | TASK_DECOMPOSITION_PROBLEM | SPEC_CONFLICT | EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY - FIX_PLAN: 1. <specific repo-fixable action> 2. <specific repo-fixable action> - VERIFICATION: <command(s) to confirm the fix> - NEXT_ACTION: RETRY_TASK | BLOCK_TASK | STOP_FOR_HUMAN - CONFIDENCE: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW - NOTES: <context the next implementer should know> ```
