    Example session with this skill installed

    The auth provider is flaky on slow connections; I tried adding a sleep but it still fails sometimes. Use the Lobster framework to find a permanent fix.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the lobster-debugging

    [ROOT CAUSE FOUND]: Race condition in Auth Provider.
    [PREVENTION]: Replaced 500ms sleep with Promise.all() synchronization.
    [UNIT TEST]: test_auth_persistence_on_slow_network verified.
    [REGRESSION]: Validated against 4 existing auth edge cases.
    Result: Bug eliminated, not patched.

    About this skill

    What it does

    Lobster Debugging is a rigorous, 4-phase framework designed to eliminate the "guess-and-check" cycle that plagues modern software development. It transforms your AI agent from a simple code-patcher into a systematic forensic investigator. Instead of applying shallow fixes, it enforces a strict protocol: investigation, condition-based synchronization, defense-in-depth, and academic verification.

    Why use this skill

    Standard LLMs often rush to provide the first plausible-looking fix, which leads to regression and technical debt. This skill implements the 'Iron Law' of debugging: no fixes allowed without proven root cause isolation. It prevents common pitfalls like "magic" sleep timers, flaky test patches, and symptom-only repairs. By using this skill, you ensure that every bug fixed is a bug that never returns.

    How it works

    • Phase 1: Investigation: Systematic binary search of the codebase and diagnostic instrumentation.
    • Phase 2: Synchronization: Replacing flaky timeouts with robust event-based waiting.
    • Phase 3: Defense-in-Depth: Implementing guards that prevent entire classes of similar vulnerabilities.
    • Phase 4: Verification: Proving the fix handles edge cases and handles regression testing.
