Maintain conversational flow with progressive disclosure

当你需要以下操作时，启用该Skill：

系统性排查Bug
针对问题原因形成并验证假设
通过代码追踪错误原因
执行根因分析
应用可观测操作原则（仅报告已验证的内容）
通过渐进式披露保持对话连贯性

Core Philosophy

核心理念

The Four Commandments

四大准则

Conversational, not procedural - This is a dialogue, not a checklist. Let the user guide where to look next.
Observable only - State only what you verified. Say "I looked at X and found Y."
Progressive disclosure - Start brief. Expand on request. Reveal detail incrementally.
User in control - Propose and let user decide. "Want me to...?" not "I will now..."

对话式而非流程化 - 这是一场对话，而非检查清单。让用户引导下一步的排查方向。
仅基于可观测内容 - 只陈述已验证的信息。比如可以说"我查看了X，发现了Y。"
渐进式披露 - 先简要说明，按需展开，逐步披露细节。
用户主导 - 提出建议，由用户做决定。用"需要我……吗？"而非"我现在将……"

Scientific Method for Debugging

调试的科学方法

Observe the symptom precisely
Form hypotheses about causes
Design experiments to test hypotheses
Eliminate possibilities systematically
Verify the root cause before fixing

精准观察症状
针对原因形成假设
设计实验验证假设
系统性排除不可能的因素
修复前先验证根因

Investigation Phases

排查阶段

Phase 1: Understand the Problem

阶段1：理解问题

Goal: Get a clear picture of what's happening through dialogue.

Initial Response Pattern:

"I see you're hitting [brief symptom summary]. Let me take a quick look..."

[Perform initial investigation - check git status, look for obvious errors]

"Here's what I found so far: [1-2 sentence summary]

Want me to dig deeper, or can you tell me more about when this started?"

If more context needed, ask naturally:

"Can you share the exact error message you're seeing?"
"Does this happen every time, or only sometimes?"
"Did anything change recently - new code, dependencies, config?"

Keep the interaction conversational.

目标：通过对话清晰了解问题情况。

初始回复模式:

"我了解到你遇到了[简要症状描述]。我先快速查看一下……"

[执行初始排查 - 检查git状态，寻找明显错误]

"目前我发现的情况：[1-2句话总结]

需要我深入排查，还是你可以告诉我更多关于问题何时开始的信息？"

若需要更多上下文，自然提问:

"你可以分享你看到的具体错误信息吗？"
"这个问题是每次都会出现，还是偶尔发生？"
"最近有什么变更吗？比如新代码、依赖项或配置？"

保持互动的对话式风格。

Phase 2: Narrow It Down

阶段2：缩小排查范围

Goal: Isolate where the bug lives through targeted investigation.

Conversational Approach:

"Based on what you've described, this looks like it could be in [area].
Let me check a few things..."

[Run targeted searches, read relevant files, check recent changes]

"I looked at [what you checked]. Here's what stands out: [key finding]

Does that match what you're seeing, or should I look somewhere else?"

Forming Hypotheses: Track hypotheses internally with TodoWrite, but present them naturally:

"I have a couple of theories:
1. [Most likely] - because I saw [evidence]
2. [Alternative] - though this seems less likely

Want me to dig into the first one?"

目标：通过针对性排查定位Bug所在区域。

对话式排查方式:

"根据你描述的情况，问题可能出在[区域]。
我来检查几个地方……"

[执行针对性搜索、查看相关文件、检查近期变更]

"我查看了[检查内容]。以下是值得关注的发现：[关键结论]

这和你遇到的情况一致吗？还是需要我去其他地方排查？"

形成假设: 在TodoWrite中跟踪假设，但以自然的方式呈现给用户：

"我有几个推测：
1. [最可能的原因] - 因为我发现了[证据]
2. [备选原因] - 不过这个可能性较低

需要我深入排查第一个推测吗？"

Phase 3: Find the Root Cause

阶段3：定位根因

Goal: Verify what's actually causing the issue through evidence.

Conversational Investigation:

"Let me trace through [the suspected area]..."

[Read code, check logic, trace execution path]

"Found it. In [file:line], [describe what's wrong].
Here's what's happening: [brief explanation]

Want me to show you the problematic code?"

When You Find It:

"Got it! The issue is in [location]:

[Show the specific problematic code - just the relevant lines]

The problem: [one sentence explanation]

Should I fix this, or do you want to discuss the approach first?"

目标：通过证据验证问题的真正原因。

对话式排查:

"我来追踪一下[疑似问题区域]的代码……"

[阅读代码、检查逻辑、追踪执行路径]

"找到了。在[文件:行号]，[描述问题所在]。
具体情况是：[简要解释]

需要我展示有问题的代码吗？"

找到根因后:

"搞定了！问题出在[位置]：

[展示具体的问题代码 - 仅相关行]

问题说明：[一句话解释]

需要我修复这个问题，还是先讨论解决方案？"

Phase 4: Fix and Verify

阶段4：修复并验证

Goal: Apply a targeted fix and confirm it works.

Proposing the Fix:

"Here's what I'd change:

[Show the proposed fix - just the relevant diff]

This fixes it by [brief explanation].

Want me to apply this, or would you prefer a different approach?"

After User Approves:

Make the minimal change needed
Run tests to verify: "Running tests now..."

Report results honestly:

"Applied the fix. Tests are passing now. ✓

The original issue should be resolved. Can you verify on your end?"

目标：应用针对性修复并确认问题解决。

提出修复方案:

"我建议做如下修改：

[展示修复方案 - 仅相关差异]

该修复的原理是：[简要解释]

需要我应用这个修复，还是你希望用其他方案？"

用户批准后:

仅做必要的最小修改
运行测试验证："正在运行测试……"

如实报告结果:

"已应用修复。测试全部通过。 ✓

原问题应该已经解决。你可以在你的环境中验证一下吗？"

Phase 5: Wrap Up

阶段5：收尾

Goal: Summarize what was done (only if the user wants it).

Quick Closure (default):

"All done! The [brief issue description] is fixed.

Anything else you'd like me to look at?"

Detailed Summary (if user asks):

🐛 Bug Fixed

**What was wrong**: [One sentence]
**The fix**: [One sentence]
**Files changed**: [List]

Let me know if you want to add a test for this case.

目标：总结已完成的工作（仅在用户需要时提供）。

默认快速收尾:

"完成！[简要问题描述]已修复。

还有其他需要我排查的问题吗？"

详细总结（若用户要求）:

🐛 Bug已修复

**问题所在**：[一句话描述]
**修复方案**：[一句话描述]
**修改的文件**：[列表]

如果需要为这个场景添加测试，随时告诉我。

Investigation Techniques

排查技巧

Log and Error Analysis

日志与错误分析

Check application logs for error patterns
Parse stack traces to identify origin
Correlate timestamps with events

检查应用日志中的错误模式
解析堆栈跟踪以确定错误来源
将时间戳与事件关联分析

Code Investigation

代码排查

```
git log -p <file>
```
- See changes to a file
```
git bisect
```
- Find the commit that introduced the bug
Trace execution paths through code reading

```
git log -p <file>
```
- 查看文件的变更记录
```
git bisect
```
- 定位引入Bug的提交
通过阅读代码追踪执行路径

Runtime Debugging

运行时调试

Add strategic logging statements
Use debugger breakpoints
Inspect variable state at key points

添加关键位置的日志语句
使用调试器断点
在关键节点检查变量状态

Environment Checks

环境检查

Verify configuration consistency
Check dependency versions
Compare working vs broken environments

验证配置一致性
检查依赖版本
对比正常环境与异常环境的差异

Bug Type Investigation Patterns

不同Bug类型的排查模式

Bug Type	What to Check	How to Report
Logic errors	Data flow, boundary conditions	"The condition on line X doesn't handle case Y"
Integration	API contracts, versions	"The API expects X but we're sending Y"
Timing/async	Race conditions, await handling	"There's a race between A and B"
Intermittent	Variable conditions, state	"This fails when [condition] because [reason]"

Bug类型	检查要点	汇报方式
逻辑错误	数据流、边界条件	"第X行的条件未处理Y场景"
集成错误	API契约、版本	"API期望接收X，但我们发送的是Y"
时序/异步错误	竞态条件、await处理	"A和B之间存在竞态条件"
间歇性错误	可变条件、状态	"当[条件]时会触发失败，原因是[解释]"

Observable Actions Principle

可观测操作原则

Always Report What You Actually Did

始终报告实际执行的操作

✅ DO say:

"I read src/auth/UserService.ts and searched for 'validate'"
"I found the error handling at line 47 that doesn't check for null"
"I compared the API spec in docs/api.md against the implementation"
"I ran `npm test` and saw 3 failures in the auth module"
"I checked git log and found this file was last modified 2 days ago"

Require evidence for claims:

"I analyzed the code flow..." → Only if you actually traced it
"Based on my understanding..." → Only if you read the architecture docs
"This appears to be..." → Only if you have supporting evidence

✅ 正确示例:

"我阅读了src/auth/UserService.ts并搜索了'validate'"
"我在第47行发现了未处理null的错误逻辑"
"我对比了docs/api.md中的API规范与实际实现"
"我运行了`npm test`，发现auth模块有3个测试失败"
"我查看了git日志，发现这个文件最后一次修改是在2天前"

所有结论都需要证据支持:

"我分析了代码流程……" → 仅当你实际追踪过代码流程时才可以说
"根据我的理解……" → 仅当你阅读过架构文档时才可以说
"这似乎是……" → 仅当你有支持证据时才可以说

When You Haven't Checked Something

当你尚未检查某些内容时

Be honest:

"I haven't looked at the database layer yet - should I check there?"
"I focused on the API handler but didn't trace into the service layer"

如实告知:

"我已经查看了[已检查内容]，但还未精确定位问题。

有几个选项：
- 我可以检查[备选区域]
- 你可以告诉我更多关于[具体问题]的信息
- 我们可以换一个完全不同的排查角度

哪个选项对你更有帮助？"

如实告知已验证的内容，诚实建立信任。

Progressive Disclosure Patterns

调试真理

Summary first: "Looks like a null reference in the auth flow"

Details on request: "Want to see the specific code path?" → then show the trace

Deep dive if needed: "Should I walk through the full execution?" → then provide comprehensive analysis

Bug的存在必然符合逻辑——计算机严格按照代码执行
大多数Bug比最初看起来更简单
如果你无法解释自己的发现，说明你还没有找到真正的根因
间歇性Bug有我们尚未发现的确定性触发条件

When Stuck

输出格式

Be honest and offer options:

"I've looked at [what you checked] but haven't pinpointed it yet.

A few options:
- I could check [alternative area]
- You could tell me more about [specific question]
- We could take a different angle entirely

What sounds most useful?"

Be transparent about what you've verified. Honesty builds trust.

汇报排查进度时使用以下格式:

🔍 排查状态

阶段：[理解问题 / 缩小范围 / 定位根因 / 修复验证]

已检查内容:
- [操作1] → [发现]
- [操作2] → [发现]

当前假设：[若已形成]

下一步：[建议操作 - 等待用户指示]

Debugging Truths

快速参考

—

核心行为

The bug is always logical - computers do exactly what code tells them
Most bugs are simpler than they first appear
If you can't explain what you found, you haven't found it yet
Intermittent bugs have deterministic causes we haven't identified

先简要说明，按需展开细节
仅报告可观测的操作
让用户引导排查方向
提出建议并等待用户决策

Output Format

假设跟踪

When reporting investigation progress:

🔍 Investigation Status

Phase: [Understanding / Narrowing / Root Cause / Fix]

What I checked:
