Evidence-based 4-phase root cause analysis: Reproduce, Isolate, Identify, Verify. Use when user reports a bug, tests are failing, code introduced regressions, or production issues need investigation. Use for "debug", "fix bug", "why is this failing", "root cause", or "tests broken". Do NOT use for feature requests, refactoring, or performance optimization without a specific bug symptom.
Test-driven development using Red-Green-Refactor for bug fixes, new features, and regression prevention. Writes a failing test first to prove a defect or define behavior, then implements minimal code to pass, then refactors. Use when fixing bugs, encountering failing behavior, adding new features, writing tests, or when the user mentions TDD, red-green-refactor, regression test, failing test, test first, or test-driven.
Use when encountering bugs, unexpected behavior, test failures, or errors during development. Enforces a rigorous 4-phase investigation process that prevents shotgun debugging. Triggers: test failure, runtime error, unexpected behavior, production incident, performance regression.
Use when debugging bugs, test failures, build failures, performance regressions, or unexpected behavior and you need root-cause investigation before proposing fixes. Trigger on requests to debug, investigate why something broke, or find the source of a technical issue.
Use test-first development for behavioral changes. Write a failing test, make it pass, then simplify.
Guide Test-Driven Development workflow (Red-Green-Refactor) for new features, bug fixes, and refactoring. Identifies test improvement opportunities and applies pytest best practices. Use when writing tests, implementing features, or following TDD methodology. **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Auto-invoke when implementing features or fixing bugs in projects with test infrastructure (pytest files, tests/ directory). **DETECTION**: Check for tests/ directory, pytest.ini, pyproject.toml with pytest config, or test files. **USE CASES**: Writing production code, fixing bugs, adding features, legacy code characterization.
Identifies bugs, analyzes errors, performs root cause analysis, and proposes fixes
Debug systematically: observe, hypothesize, test, fix, verify.
