# Bug Detective A systematic debugging workflow for investigating and resolving code errors, exceptions, and failures. Provides structured debugging methods and common error pattern recognition. ## Core Philosophy Debugging is a scientific problem-solving process that requires: 1. **Understand the problem** - Clearly define symptoms and expected behavior 2. **Gather evidence** - Collect error messages, logs, stack traces 3. **Form hypotheses** - Infer possible causes based on evidence 4. **Verify hypotheses** - Confirm or eliminate causes through experiments 5. **Resolve the issue** - Apply fixes and verify ## Debugging Workflow ### Step 1: Understand the Problem Before starting to debug, clarify the following information: **Required information to collect:** - Complete error message content - Exact location of the error (filename and line number) - Reproduction steps (how to trigger the error) - Expected behavior vs actual behavior - Environment info (OS, versions, dependencies) **Question template:** ``` 1. What is the exact error message? 2. Which file and line does the error occur at? 3. How can this issue be reproduced? Provide detailed steps. 4. What was the expected result? What actually happened? 5. What recent changes might have introduced this issue? ``` ### Step 2: Analyze Error Type Choose a debugging strategy based on error type: | Error Type | Characteristics | Debugging Method | |-----------|----------------|-----------------| | **Syntax Error** | Co...
