About

Root-cause debugging workflow before proposing fixes — reproduce, trace, hypothesize

Systematic Debugging is a codex skill — a focused instruction set the agent loads when you need specialized coding help. Skills are lighter than full plugins and install with the --skill flag.

Source package path: mxyhi/ok-skills/systematic-debugging on GitHub (mxyhi/ok-skills).

Key features

  • Specialized agent instructions for coding tasks
  • Lighter than a full plugin — focused playbook the agent loads on demand
  • Install with the --skill flag via npx
  • Ideal when you want Systematic Debugging expertise without a full integration

How to install

  1. 01

    Copy the install command

    Use the command on this page — it includes the correct --skill flag for this skill.

  2. 02

    Run it in your project terminal

    Execute the command from the directory where you use Codex, not necessarily your home folder.

  3. 03

    Restart or reload Codex

    Restart the Codex CLI or reload your IDE window so the new extension is picked up.

  4. 04

    Try an example prompt

    Ask Codex something related to Systematic Debugging to confirm the skill is active.

Example prompts

Try these after installing to confirm Systematic Debugging is working.

> This test fails intermittently — walk through root cause before suggesting a fix
> Reproduce this bug, trace the data flow, and propose a minimal hypothesis-driven fix
> We shipped a quick patch but the issue came back — audit what we missed in Phase 1

Requirements

  • Node.js 18 or newer with npx available
  • Codex CLI or IDE extension installed and signed in
