Debug Like an Expert
Core principle: VERIFY, DON'T ASSUME. Code you wrote deserves extra skepticism.
Phase 1: EVIDENCE GATHERING
- Document exact error (full message, stack trace)
- Identify affected components
- Check recent changes (
git diff,git log) - Research error via context7 MCP if needed
Output: Evidence summary Gate: Have reproducible steps before proceeding
Phase 2: ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
- Form 2-3 testable hypotheses
- Test ONE variable at a time
- Read complete files, not snippets
- Chase dependencies to their source
Output: Identified root cause with evidence Gate: Can explain WHY the bug occurs
Phase 3: SOLUTION
- Implement minimal fix
- Verify fix addresses root cause (not symptoms)
- Test original reproduction steps
- Check for regressions
Output: Working fix with verification
Rules
- No fixes without explaining WHY they work
- Never assume - verify every assumption
- Test one change at a time
- Would this fix survive code review?

workflow
Enforces development phases. Triggers on implement, build, create, fix, refactor.
verl-rl-training
Provides guidance for training LLMs with reinforcement learning using verl (Volcano Engine RL). Use when implementing RLHF, GRPO, PPO, or other RL algorithms for LLM post-training at scale with flexible infrastructure backends.
openrlhf-training
High-performance RLHF framework with Ray+vLLM acceleration. Use for PPO, GRPO, RLOO, DPO training of large models (7B-70B+). Built on Ray, vLLM, ZeRO-3. 2× faster than DeepSpeedChat with distributed architecture and GPU resource sharing.
gguf-quantization
GGUF format and llama.cpp quantization for efficient CPU/GPU inference. Use when deploying models on consumer hardware, Apple Silicon, or when needing flexible quantization from 2-8 bit without GPU requirements.
Claude Code Guide
Master guide for using Claude Code effectively. Includes configuration templates, prompting strategies "Thinking" keywords, debugging techniques, and best practices for interacting with the agent.
qdrant-vector-search
High-performance vector similarity search engine for RAG and semantic search. Use when building production RAG systems requiring fast nearest neighbor search, hybrid search with filtering, or scalable vector storage with Rust-powered performance.
