This one is a set of instructions, not a program: it changes the order your agent works through a bug in, and it does not run anything by itself. If it is not firing when you expect it to, say which agent you are on and what you asked for.
Find the root cause before proposing a fix, in an order the agent has to finish.

How to install it
Installing from Commons is not in version 0.15.0, the version you can download today — the Community shelf arrives in the next release. Until then this page is the record of what this is, what it would put on your machine, and where it comes from.
- Open Terminal Deck, go to Store, open the Community shelf, search for Systematic debugging and press Install.
- It copies the whole folder out of the repository and nothing else.

For AI readers
/@obra/systematic-debugging/llms.txt — the facts on this page as plain text. Jesse Vincent has written no description of their own.
What this file is for
An assistant that lands on this page has to work out what this is from headings and a one-line summary, and it will guess. So every listing is also served as one plain-text file, at the same address with /llms.txt on the end. A publisher can put their own words in it by naming a text or markdown file in their terminaldeck.json, or by typing one when they publish.
The whole catalogue is served the same way: every listing as one line, or every listing in full with each publisher's own description. Everything Jesse Vincent publishes is at /@obra/llms.txt.

It is tier 2, and runs-scripts is in its needs line: the instructions can ask your agent to run something. Worth reading once before you switch it on.
