thananon/debug-mantra

Four-mantra debugging discipline — reproduce, trace the fail path, falsify the hypothesis, cross-reference every breadcrumb. Recite the mantra block verbatim at the start of any debugging session, then apply the four steps in order before proposing any fix. Trigger on /debug-mantra and proactively whenever debugging starts — user reports a bug, says something is broken/throwing/failing, asks to debug/diagnose/investigate an issue, or pastes a stack trace or error log.

Individual skills in this repo

This repo contains 3 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.

thananon/management-talk

Rewrite engineer-to-engineer content for engineering-org leadership (VPs, directors, PMs, release managers, execs in an engineering-savvy company) and shape it for the channel it is going to — JIRA comment, Slack post, async standup line, email, or meeting talking-points. Trigger when the user asks to write/rewrite for management / exec / VP / director / PM / release manager, asks for an "executive summary / leadership update / status update", says "make this less technical / less jargony", or asks for a slack / email / standup / meeting version of work originally written engineer-to-engineer.

thananon/post-mortem

Write the canonical engineering record of a fixed bug — root cause, mechanism, fix, validation, and how it slipped through. Engineer-audience, code identifiers welcome. Use after a debug session lands a fix, before closing the ticket. Trigger on /post-mortem, when the user says "write the post-mortem / postmortem / RCA / root cause analysis", "document this fix", "write up the root cause", "close out this bug with a writeup", or hands you a fixed-and-validated bug and asks for the writeup.

thananon/scrutinize

Outsider-perspective end-to-end review of a plan, PR, or code change. First questions intent and whether a simpler/more elegant approach would achieve the same goal, then traces the actual code path (not just the diff) to verify the change does what it claims. Output is concise, actionable, and every call carries its rationale. Trigger on /scrutinize and proactively whenever the user asks to review, audit, sanity-check, or get a second opinion on a plan, PR, diff, design doc, or proposed code change.
