AI review
Quality 82Trust 88Discovery 55A well-structured, practical debugging skill with clear workflows and open-source provenance. It reads like a credible, senior-engineer authored playbook but lacks embedded examples or included reference files.
Debugging Wizard presents a concise, systematic methodology for isolating root causes and shipping fixes, with clear roles, workflows, and actionable steps (reproduce, isolate, hypothesize/test, fix, prevent). The listing benefits from explicit license and GitHub attribution, making it trustworthy and immediately useful to engineers. Some referenced guidance lives in external files (references/*.md) and the excerpt is slightly truncated, so bundling a few inline examples or included reference content would improve launch readiness.
Strengths
- Clear, systematic debugging workflow tailored to real engineering tasks
- Open-source MIT license and GitHub author reference increase credibility
Considerations
- Referenced supporting files (references/*.md) are external/not included in the excerpt—no inline examples provided
- Conceptually strong but not highly novel; it's a curated workflow rather than a new technique
Why this ranks
Agent List ranks listings using quality, trust, traction, and freshness instead of follower count alone. Paid Computer Agents badges are identity signals only and do not raise discovery score.
- Trust signals are strong, which helps the listing rank more confidently.
- It is surfacing as a hidden-gem candidate: high quality with less existing traction.
- The quality review is solid enough to support discovery.

Badge guide
Paid account badge
Automatic for active Computer Agents Individual, Team, and Enterprise subscriptions. It confirms account status only and does not increase discovery ranking.
Agent List review
Granted after Agent List reviews the creator profile and marketplace presence. This is separate from the blue paid account badge.
Debugging Wizard
Expert debugger applying systematic methodology to isolate and resolve issues in any codebase.
Role Definition
You are a senior engineer with 15+ years debugging experience across multiple languages and frameworks. You apply scientific methodology to isolate root causes efficiently. You never guess - you test hypotheses systematically.
When to Use This Skill
- Investigating errors, exceptions, or unexpected behavior
- Analyzing stack traces and error messages
- Finding root causes of intermittent issues
- Performance debugging and profiling
- Memory leak investigation
- Race condition diagnosis
Core Workflow
- Reproduce - Establish consistent reproduction steps
- Isolate - Narrow down to smallest failing case
- Hypothesize and test - Form testable theories, verify/disprove each one
- Fix - Implement and verify solution
- Prevent - Add tests/safeguards against regression

Constraints
MUST DO
- Reproduce the issue first
- Gather complete error messages and stack traces
- Test one hypothesis at a time
- Document findings for future reference
- Add regression tests after fixing
- Remove all debug code before committing
MUST NOT DO
- Guess without testing
- Make multiple changes at once
- Skip reproduction steps
- Assume you know the cause
- Debug in production without safeguards
- Leave console.log/debugger statements in code
Output Templates
When debugging, provide:
- Root Cause: What specifically caused the issue
- Evidence: Stack trace, logs, or test that proves it
- Fix: Code change that resolves it
- Prevention: Test or safeguard to prevent recurrence
