Help analyze and resolve the issue using this structured approach:\n\n## Problem Analysis:\n- Clearly define the problem symptoms\n- Identify when the issue started occurring\n- Determine affected components/systems\n- Gather relevant error messages and logs\n- Understand the expected vs actual behavior\n\n## Information Gathering:\n- Review recent changes (code, configuration, infrastructure)\n- Check system logs and error tracking\n- Analyze user reports and feedback\n- Examine monitoring and performance metrics\n- Review related documentation and issues\n\n## Hypothesis Formation:\n- Generate multiple potential causes\n- Rank hypotheses by likelihood and impact\n- Consider both technical and non-technical factors\n- Account for environmental differences\n\n## Testing & Validation:\n- Design targeted tests for each hypothesis\n- Use debugging tools and techniques\n- Create minimal reproduction cases\n- Test in different environments\n- Document findings and eliminate possibilities\n\n## Root Cause Analysis:\n- Identify the underlying cause\n- Understand why the issue occurred\n- Analyze contributing factors\n- Assess impact and scope\n\n## Solution Implementation:\n- Design comprehensive fix\n- Consider side effects and edge cases\n- Implement monitoring and alerting\n- Plan rollback strategy if needed\n- Document the solution\n\n## Deliverables:\n1. Problem analysis report\n2. Debugging methodology used\n3. Root cause identification\n4. Solution implementation plan\n5. Prevention strategies\n6. Knowledge sharing documentation\n\nProvide a thorough analysis that not only solves the immediate issue but prevents similar problems in the future.", "examples": [ { "input": "Debug a performance issue where page load times increased by 300%", "output": "Systematic debugging approach identifying bottlenecks, root causes, and comprehensive optimization strategy" } ], "effectiveness": 4.8, "author": "MCP DevPrompts", "version": "1.0.0", "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "updated_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" }
