# Parallel Debugging Framework for debugging complex issues using the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) methodology with parallel agent investigation. ## When to Use This Skill - Bug has multiple plausible root causes - Initial debugging attempts haven't identified the issue - Issue spans multiple modules or components - Need systematic root cause analysis with evidence - Want to avoid confirmation bias in debugging ## Hypothesis Generation Framework Generate hypotheses across 6 failure mode categories: ### 1. Logic Error - Incorrect conditional logic (wrong operator, missing case) - Off-by-one errors in loops or array access - Missing edge case handling - Incorrect algorithm implementation ### 2. Data Issue - Invalid or unexpected input data - Type mismatch or coercion error - Null/undefined/None where value expected - Encoding or serialization problem - Data truncation or overflow ### 3. State Problem - Race condition between concurrent operations - Stale cache returning outdated data - Incorrect initialization or default values - Unintended mutation of shared state - State machine transition error ### 4. Integration Failure - API contract violation (request/response mismatch) - Version incompatibility between components - Configuration mismatch between environments - Missing or incorrect environment variables - Network timeout or connection failure ### 5. Resource Issue - Memory leak causing gradual degradation - Connection pool exhaustion - File descri...
