What it does

Use structured-debug when diagnosing regressions, incidents, failing tests, or unclear production behavior. It pushes the agent to gather evidence, identify likely causes, and agree on a fix plan before changing code.

When to use it

  • Investigate a failing behavior before jumping to a patch
  • Create a clear root-cause hypothesis and validation plan
  • Debug incidents, test failures, and regressions with less guesswork
