Council Debug Skill

Systematic debugging and root cause analysis with both Codex (GPT-5.2) and Gemini.

When to Use

• Complex bugs requiring investigation
• Mysterious errors or failures
• Performance issues
• Race conditions or timing problems
• When user asks for debugging help from the council

Reasoning Level

xhigh (always - debugging requires deep analysis)

Execution

1. Gather all relevant context:

   • Error messages
   • Stack traces
   • Relevant code files
   • Logs if available

2. Formulate a debugging prompt:

   CopyDebug this issue systematically:
   
   Problem: <description of the bug>
   
   Error: <error message/stack trace>
   
   Relevant Code:
   <code snippets>
   
   Please:
   1. Identify potential root causes
   2. Analyze each possibility
   3. Determine the most likely cause
   4. Suggest a fix
   

3. Run BOTH commands in parallel:

   Codex:

   Copycodex exec --sandbox read-only -c model_reasoning_effort="xhigh" "<prompt>"
   

   Gemini:

   Copygemini -s -y -o json "<prompt>"
   

4. Synthesize debugging insights
