+# Debugging Skill
+
+A systematic workflow: reproduce -> inspect logs/errors -> isolate cause -> form hypothesis -> test -> fix -> regression test.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Reproduce
+- Create minimal reproduction case
+- Document exact steps
+- Verify consistent failure
+
+### 2. Inspect
+- Read error messages fully
+- Check logs and stack traces
+- Examine relevant code paths
+
+### 3. Isolate
+- Narrow down the failing component
+- Use binary search if needed
+- Add temporary logging
+
+### 4. Hypothesize
+- Form specific, testable hypotheses
+- Prioritize by likelihood
+- Consider recent changes
+
+### 5. Test
+- Verify each hypothesis
+- Use debuggers, prints, or tests
+- Document findings
+
+### 6. Fix
+- Make minimal targeted change
+- Address root cause, not symptom
+- Follow existing patterns
+
+### 7. Regression Test
+- Run existing test suite
+- Add test for the bug
+- Verify fix doesn't break other things
