Diagnosing Bugs

This is a systematic approach to tracking down stubborn bugs, originally from Matt Pocock's collection and translated to Chinese. The core philosophy is simple: before you do anything else, build a tight feedback loop that fails on your specific bug. Everything else (bisection, hypothesis testing, instrumentation) only works if you have that pass/fail signal first. The skill walks you through constructing that loop with various techniques, then moves through standard debugging phases. It's disciplined and opinionated about not skipping steps unless you have a good reason. If you're the type who wastes hours staring at code without a reproducible test case, this will force better habits.
