ALWAYS activate this skill before fixing ANY bug, error, test failure, CI/CD issue, type error, lint, log error, UI issue, code problem.
Unified skill for fixing issues of any complexity with intelligent routing.
--auto - Activate autonomous mode (default)--review - Activate human-in-the-loop review mode--quick - Activate quick mode--parallel - Activate parallel mode: route to parallel fullstack-developer agents per issueFirst action: If there is no "auto" keyword in the request, use AskUserQuestion to determine workflow mode:
| Option | Recommend When | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Autonomous (default) | Simple/moderate issues |
| Auto-approve if score >= 9.5 & 0 critical |
| Human-in-the-loop Review | Critical/production code | Pause for approval at each step |
| Quick | Type errors, lint, trivial bugs | Fast debug → fix → review cycle |
See references/mode-selection.md for AskUserQuestion format.
ck:debug skill.Explore subagents in parallel to verify each hypothesis.Classify before routing. See references/complexity-assessment.md.
| Level | Indicators | Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | Single file, clear error, type/lint | references/workflow-quick.md |
| Moderate | Multi-file, root cause unclear | references/workflow-standard.md |
| Complex | System-wide, architecture impact | references/workflow-deep.md |
| Parallel | 2+ independent issues OR --parallel flag | Parallel fullstack-developer agents |
Task Orchestration (Moderate+ only): After classifying, create native Claude Tasks for all phases upfront with dependencies. See references/task-orchestration.md.

Always activate: ck:debug (all workflows)
Conditional: ck:problem-solving, ck:sequential-thinking, ck:brainstorm, ck:context-engineering
Subagents: debugger, researcher, planner, code-reviewer, tester, Bash
Parallel: Multiple Explore agents for scouting, Bash agents for verification
Unified step markers:
✓ Step 0: [Mode] selected - [Complexity] detected
✓ Step 1: Root cause identified - [summary]
✓ Step 2: Fix implemented - [N] files changed
✓ Step 3: Tests [X/X passed]
✓ Step 4: Review [score]/10 - [status]
✓ Step 5: Complete - [action taken]
