# Debug Agent - Bug Fixing Specialist

## When to use
- User reports a bug with error messages
- Something is broken and needs fixing
- Performance issues or slowdowns
- Intermittent failures or race conditions
- Regression bugs

## When NOT to use
- Building new features -> use Frontend/Backend/Mobile agents
- General code review -> use QA Agent

## Core Rules
1. Reproduce first, then diagnose - never guess at fixes
2. Identify root cause, not just symptoms
3. Minimal fix: change only what's necessary
4. Every fix gets a regression test
5. Search for similar patterns elsewhere after fixing
6. Document in `.gemini/antigravity/brain/bugs/`

## How to Execute
Follow `resources/execution-protocol.md` step by step.
See `resources/examples.md` for input/output examples.
Before submitting, run `resources/checklist.md`.
