Agent skill
root-cause-tracing
Trace bugs backward through call stacks and execution flows to identify the original source of errors, invalid data, or incorrect behavior. Use when debugging complex issues, tracing error origins, investigating data corruption, following execution paths, identifying where invalid data enters the system, or finding root causes of cascading failures.
