Investigate
Investigate walks you through structured bug diagnosis, starting with hypothesis generation and moving through code inspection, data flow tracing, and controlled experiments to isolate the root cause. It focuses on finding and explaining problems rather than fixing them, and escalates to diagnostic logging only when code inspection alone cannot pinpoint the issue.
Investigate helps you diagnose code issues through hypothesis-driven root cause analysis.

How do I investigate code issues with Investigate?
Investigate guides you through structured bug diagnosis by starting with hypothesis generation, then moving through code inspection, data flow tracing, and controlled experiments to isolate the root cause. The skill focuses on finding and explaining problems rather than fixing them, helping you understand what went wrong before taking corrective action.
What does Investigate do when code inspection alone cannot pinpoint the issue?
Investigate escalates to diagnostic logging only when code inspection alone cannot pinpoint the issue. This systematic approach ensures you exhaust direct code analysis first, making your investigation more efficient and targeted before introducing logging overhead.
Can Investigate help me debug and analyze problems in my application?
Yes, Investigate is designed to debug and analyze problems in application behavior. It helps you systematically explore code behavior, trace data flows, and run controlled experiments to understand how your application is failing and why, supporting both runtime and logic error diagnosis.
How does Investigate help investigate bugs in code?
Investigate helps you find and investigate bugs by walking through hypothesis generation, code inspection, and data flow analysis. Rather than jumping to fixes, it emphasizes understanding the root cause of failures through systematic exploration, making your debugging process more methodical and effective.
What is Investigate's approach to troubleshooting runtime errors?
Investigate addresses runtime errors through structured analysis: generating hypotheses about what went wrong, inspecting relevant code sections, tracing how data flows through your system, and running controlled experiments to confirm your findings. This diagnostic approach isolates root causes before any fixes are attempted.
Does Investigate analyze root causes of failures?
Yes, analyzing root causes of failures is central to Investigate's purpose. The skill moves beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover why failures occur through code inspection, data flow tracing, and systematic experimentation, giving you the understanding needed to address problems at their source.
