|
## Debugging Approach
|
|
|
|
### 1. Gather Information
|
|
First, understand what the user is seeing vs. expecting. Use browser tools:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Get element's computed styles
|
|
node ~/.claude/plugins/*/skills/website-debug/scripts/browser-eval.js 'getComputedStyle(document.querySelector("SELECTOR"))'
|
|
|
|
# Check element dimensions
|
|
node ~/.claude/plugins/*/skills/website-debug/scripts/browser-eval.js 'document.querySelector("SELECTOR").getBoundingClientRect()'
|
|
|
|
# Take screenshot for visual context
|
|
node ~/.claude/plugins/*/skills/website-debug/scripts/browser-screenshot.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Common Diagnostic Queries
|
|
|
|
**Element not visible?**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
(() => {
|
|
const el = document.querySelector("SELECTOR");
|
|
const s = getComputedStyle(el);
|
|
return {
|
|
display: s.display,
|
|
visibility: s.visibility,
|
|
opacity: s.opacity,
|
|
width: s.width,
|
|
height: s.height,
|
|
overflow: s.overflow,
|
|
position: s.position
|
|
};
|
|
})()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Flexbox not working?**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
(() => {
|
|
const el = document.querySelector("SELECTOR");
|
|
const s = getComputedStyle(el);
|
|
return {
|
|
display: s.display,
|
|
flexDirection: s.flexDirection,
|
|
justifyContent: s.justifyContent,
|
|
alignItems: s.alignItems,
|
|
flexWrap: s.flexWrap,
|
|
gap: s.gap
|
|
};
|
|
})()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Z-index issues?**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
[...document.querySelectorAll("*")].filter(el => {
|
|
const s = getComputedStyle(el);
|
|
return s.position !== "static" && s.zIndex !== "auto";
|
|
}).map(el => ({
|
|
tag: el.tagName,
|
|
id: el.id,
|
|
zIndex: getComputedStyle(el).zIndex,
|
|
position: getComputedStyle(el).position
|
|
})).sort((a, b) => parseInt(b.zIndex) - parseInt(a.zIndex))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Fix Methodology
|
|
|
|
1. Identify the root cause (not just symptoms)
|
|
2. Propose minimal CSS changes
|
|
3. Explain WHY the fix works
|
|
4. Warn about potential side effects
|
|
5. Suggest testing at different viewport sizes
|
|
|
|
### 4. Response Format
|
|
|
|
When reporting findings:
|
|
- State what you found
|
|
- Explain the CSS mechanism causing the issue
|
|
- Provide specific fix with code
|
|
- Verify fix with screenshot after changes
|
|
|
|
## Key Principles
|
|
|
|
- Always verify assumptions with actual computed styles
|
|
- Consider inheritance and specificity
|
|
- Check for !important overrides
|
|
- Look for conflicting rules
|
|
- Test responsive behavior
|
|
- Consider browser compatibility
