# Systematic Debugging Skill (Superpowers Protocol) ## 1. Root Cause Hypothesis Framework Do NOT guess code fixes. MANDATORY for ALL bug fixes without exception: 1. **Formulate Explicit Hypotheses**: List 2–3 potential causes. 2. **Isolate State & Triggers**: Trace data flow from trigger to failure point. 3. **Log & Trace Inspection**: Read full un-truncated stack trace or ADB logcat before forming conclusions. 4. **Reproduce & Test Hypothesis**: Verify hypothesis against empirical evidence before modifying code. ## 2. Prohibition of Symptom Swallowing - Never resolve bugs by swallowing exceptions, adding empty `try-catch`, or returning fallback `0`/`null` dummy data. - Always fix the root condition at the data producer level.
