Description
debug is a command from Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins, listed on skills.sh. It runs a structured debugging session that reproduces a problem, isolates it, diagnoses the cause and fixes it. It is triggered by an error message or stack trace, or by a statement such as the issue works in staging but not in production. The command is run as /debug with a description of the problem, and it follows a set sequence so the work stays systematic rather than a guess-and-check. A connectors guide explains which tools are connected. It suits engineers who want a disciplined approach to a bug, especially one that depends on the environment, and who want the reproduction and the isolation done before any fix is made.…
