debug

debug is a Root-cause investigation skill for AI agents, published by fcakyon in the phd-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates debug F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Evidence-before-action diagnosis of failing ML experiments. Probes the system before guessing causes, process list, dmesg, GPU stats, log scrollback, checkpoint state, then states a hypothesis as a hypothesis and runs a smoke before claiming a root cause. Use when the user asks why a run is failing, diverging, OOMing, hanging, slow, producing weird metrics, has crashed, or asks to debug, diagnose, troubleshoot, or investigate a training issue.
