Purpose: General troubleshooting guide for diagnosing AIDB issues across all components
This skill provides investigation workflows, log locations, common failure modes, and diagnostic commands for debugging AIDB.
When troubleshooting specific components:
When encountering AIDB issues:
~/.aidb/log/aidb.loggrep -r "ERROR" ~/.aidb/log/For detailed investigation workflow, see Investigation Workflow.
Use this skill when:
