Problem Locating Solving | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when locating a bug in an unfamiliar codebase, tracing a failure from symptom to source, or choosing between candidate fixes after the symptom is observed but before a patch lands. Covers the locate-to-solve workflow: problem-statement contract, search-space reduction, boundary-based fault localization, good-vs-bad path comparison, binary search through a call chain, minimal repro, root-cause isolation, fix option comparison, blast-radius review, and post-fix verification. Do NOT use for broad task planning once the bug is localized, test-pyramid design, or performance forensics.
