Claude Debug Mode Plugin

A hypothesis-based debugging skill for Claude Code, inspired by Cursor's Debug Mode. Uses runtime evidence and systematic hypothesis testing to identify and fix bugs.

Installation

/plugin marketplace add kerdofficial/claude-debug-mode
/plugin install claude-debug-mode@kerd-debug-mode

How It Works

When you ask Claude to debug your code, it will:

1. Think of possible causes - Generate several hypotheses about what might be wrong
2. Add logging - Insert temporary logs in your code to test each hypothesis
3. Ask you to run it - You reproduce the bug while logs collect data
4. Analyze the evidence - Claude reads the logs and identifies the actual cause
5. Fix it - Apply a targeted fix based on real data
6. Verify - You test again to confirm it works
7. Clean up - Remove all the temporary logging code

Usage

Simply ask Claude Code to debug something:

• "Help me debug this function"
• "Debug this - the API returns null sometimes"
• "Why isn't this working?"
• "Find this bug in the authentication flow"

or just simply use the /debug-mode command and describe the bug, for example:

/debug-mode We have a bug in the inventory management system. When we try to reorder an item, it returns the wrong quantity.
