AI Agent Skill: Analyze & Plan for Bug & Failure Diagnosis

AI Agent Skill: Analyze & Plan for Bug & Failure Diagnosis

This AI agent skill aids developers in diagnosing and planning for potential solutions related to bugs, continuous integration (CI) failures, test failures, regressions, incidents, and other debugging issues. It systematically evaluates the existing evidence, summarizes the root cause analysis (RCA), and prompts for subsequent action plans.

What this skill does

• Inspect available evidence including repository files, logs, tests, command output, or user-reported symptoms before proceeding with planning.
• Generate a concise RCA summary utilizing techniques like the "5 Whys," ceasing exploration once all plausible evidence is exhausted.
• Compose a decision prompt with choices based on the RCA summary: recommending further action or reviewing without a plan.
• If a plan is opted in, execute the corresponding procedure while adhering to the skill's contract and handling the problem efficiently.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and engineering teams employing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It supports those requiring structured diagnostics in their debugging processes to improve problem resolution efficiency.

Use cases

• Diagnosing a continuous integration (CI) pipeline failure by examining logs and test outputs.
• Identifying the root cause of a regression in software behavior following a recent update.
• Resolving test failures by analyzing differences in command outputs or user-reported symptoms.
• Prioritizing which issues to address in more detail and deciding on action plans based on existing diagnostic data.

Technical details

This skill leverages a combination of AI agent capabilities, including: agent-skills, aiapplication, and the analyze-and-plan process. It does not integrate directly with external platforms, instead focusing on internal diagnostic workflows to provide developers with structured insights for decision-making.
