Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a productivity skill usually connects to your mail, calendar or notes.

Systematically find root causes and fix bugs. Use when debugging errors, investigating test failures, reproducing bugs from issue trackers (GitHub, Linear, Jira), or when stuck on a problem after failed fix attempts. Also use when the user says 'debug this', 'why is this failing', 'fix this bug', 'trace this error', or pastes stack traces, error messages, or issue references.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named debug already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/rijkvanzanten/rolling-wave-engineering' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '4aacd0ce3e048dd347624c2cab15dd59b1a008f3' -- 'skills/debug' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/debug' ~/.agents/skills/'debug' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ~/.claude/skills/'debug' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
