Workflow

工作流程

1. Initial Triage

1. 初步分类

Use Task tool (subagent_type="debugger") for AI-powered analysis:
  • Error pattern recognition
  • Stack trace analysis with probable causes
  • Component dependency analysis
  • Severity assessment
  • Generate 3-5 ranked hypotheses
  • Recommend debugging strategy
使用Task工具(subagent_type="debugger")进行AI驱动的分析:
  • 错误模式识别
  • 堆栈跟踪分析及可能原因
  • 组件依赖关系分析
  • 严重性评估
  • 生成3-5个排序后的假设
  • 推荐调试策略

2. Observability Data Collection

2. 可观测性数据收集

For production/staging issues, gather:
  • Error tracking (Sentry, Rollbar, Bugsnag)
  • APM metrics (DataDog, New Relic, Dynatrace)
  • Distributed traces (Jaeger, Zipkin, Honeycomb)
  • Log aggregation (ELK, Splunk, Loki)
  • Session replays (LogRocket, FullStory)
Query for:
  • Error frequency/trends
  • Affected user cohorts
  • Environment-specific patterns
  • Related errors/warnings
  • Performance degradation correlation
  • Deployment timeline correlation
针对生产/预发布环境问题,收集以下数据:
  • 错误跟踪(Sentry、Rollbar、Bugsnag)
  • APM指标(DataDog、New Relic、Dynatrace)
  • 分布式追踪(Jaeger、Zipkin、Honeycomb)
  • 日志聚合(ELK、Splunk、Loki)
  • 会话回放(LogRocket、FullStory)
查询内容:
  • 错误频率/趋势
  • 受影响的用户群体
  • 特定环境下的模式
  • 相关错误/警告
  • 性能下降的相关性
  • 部署时间线的相关性

3. Hypothesis Generation

3. 假设生成

For each hypothesis include:
  • Probability score (0-100%)
  • Supporting evidence from logs/traces/code
  • Falsification criteria
  • Testing approach
  • Expected symptoms if true
Common categories:
  • Logic errors (race conditions, null handling)
  • State management (stale cache, incorrect transitions)
  • Integration failures (API changes, timeouts, auth)
  • Resource exhaustion (memory leaks, connection pools)
  • Configuration drift (env vars, feature flags)
  • Data corruption (schema mismatches, encoding)
每个假设需包含:
  • 概率分数(0-100%)
  • 来自日志/跟踪/代码的支持证据
  • 证伪标准
  • 测试方法
  • 如果假设成立的预期症状
常见类别:
  • 逻辑错误(竞态条件、空值处理)
  • 状态管理(缓存过期、错误状态转换)
  • 集成失败(API变更、超时、认证问题)
  • 资源耗尽(内存泄漏、连接池问题)
  • 配置漂移(环境变量、功能开关)
  • 数据损坏(schema不匹配、编码问题)

4. Strategy Selection

4. 策略选择

Select based on issue characteristics:
Interactive Debugging: Reproducible locally → VS Code/Chrome DevTools, step-through Observability-Driven: Production issues → Sentry/DataDog/Honeycomb, trace analysis Time-Travel: Complex state issues → rr/Redux DevTools, record & replay Chaos Engineering: Intermittent under load → Chaos Monkey/Gremlin, inject failures Statistical: Small % of cases → Delta debugging, compare success vs failure
根据问题特征选择:
交互式调试:可本地复现 → 使用VS Code/Chrome DevTools,逐步调试 可观测性驱动调试:生产环境问题 → 使用Sentry/DataDog/Honeycomb,跟踪分析 时间旅行调试:复杂状态问题 → 使用rr/Redux DevTools,记录与回放 混沌工程:负载下的间歇性问题 → 使用Chaos Monkey/Gremlin,注入故障 统计调试:小比例案例 → Delta调试,对比成功与失败案例

5. Intelligent Instrumentation

5. 智能插桩

AI suggests optimal breakpoint/logpoint locations:
  • Entry points to affected functionality
  • Decision nodes where behavior diverges
  • State mutation points
  • External integration boundaries
  • Error handling paths
Use conditional breakpoints and logpoints for production-like environments.
AI建议最优断点/日志点位置:
  • 受影响功能的入口点
  • 行为出现分歧的决策节点
  • 状态变更点
  • 外部集成边界
  • 错误处理路径
在类生产环境中使用条件断点和日志点。

6. Production-Safe Techniques

6. 生产环境安全调试技术

Dynamic Instrumentation: OpenTelemetry spans, non-invasive attributes Feature-Flagged Debug Logging: Conditional logging for specific users Sampling-Based Profiling: Continuous profiling with minimal overhead (Pyroscope) Read-Only Debug Endpoints: Protected by auth, rate-limited state inspection Gradual Traffic Shifting: Canary deploy debug version to 10% traffic
动态插桩:OpenTelemetry span,非侵入式属性 功能开关控制的调试日志:针对特定用户的条件日志 基于采样的性能分析:持续分析且开销极小(Pyroscope) 只读调试端点:受认证保护、有速率限制的状态检查 渐进式流量切换:将调试版本灰度发布给10%的流量

Example: Minimal Debug Session

示例:极简调试会话

typescript
// Issue: "Checkout timeout errors (intermittent)"

// 1. Initial analysis
const analysis = await aiAnalyze({
  error: "Payment processing timeout",
  frequency: "5% of checkouts",
  environment: "production"
});
// AI suggests: "Likely N+1 query or external API timeout"

// 2. Gather observability data
const sentryData = await getSentryIssue("CHECKOUT_TIMEOUT");
const ddTraces = await getDataDogTraces({
  service: "checkout",
  operation: "process_payment",
  duration: ">5000ms"
});

// 3. Analyze traces
// AI identifies: 15+ sequential DB queries per checkout
// Hypothesis: N+1 query in payment method loading

// 4. Add instrumentation
span.setAttribute('debug.queryCount', queryCount);
span.setAttribute('debug.paymentMethodId', methodId);

// 5. Deploy to 10% traffic, monitor
// Confirmed: N+1 pattern in payment verification

// 6. AI generates fix
// Replace sequential queries with batch query

// 7. Validate
// - Tests pass
// - Latency reduced 70%
// - Query count: 15 → 1
