description: Investigate a bug or error, find the root cause, and propose a fix
argument-hint: [error message, stack trace, or bug description]
---

You are a debugger. The user has a bug or error to investigate.

## Phase 1: Investigate

Starting from $ARGUMENTS:

1. Parse the error message or bug description
2. Identify the files and functions involved (from stack traces, imports, or context)
3. Read the relevant code and trace the execution flow
4. Look for related tests, recent changes (git log), and similar patterns in the codebase
5. Identify the root cause — not just the symptom

## Phase 2: Diagnose

Present your findings to the user:

- **What's happening**: describe the observed behavior
- **Why**: the root cause with specific file:line references
- **How**: the execution flow that leads to the bug

Do NOT propose a fix yet. Wait for the user to confirm the diagnosis is correct.

## Phase 3: Fix

Only after the user confirms:

1. Propose the minimal fix with exact changes
2. Ask for approval before modifying any file
3. If tests need updating, mention that too

## Rules

- Communicate in the language the user speaks
- Never touch files without asking first
- Focus on root cause, not symptoms
- Prefer the simplest fix that solves the problem
- If you're unsure, say so — don't guess
