name: yp-workflow-debugging description: Use when software work stops being straightforward implementation and turns into investigation, root-cause analysis, or repeated failed fixes.
Workflow Capability: Debugging
Debug systematically. Do not guess, patch blindly, or stack speculative fixes.
Use When
- the failure cause is unknown
- the same fix attempt keeps failing
- symptoms point to timing, state, or integration issues
Required Pattern
- reproduce the problem clearly
- gather evidence before changing code
- identify the likely root cause
- fix the cause, not just the symptom
- rerun the proving check afterward
