Debug Decision Worksheet (Printable)

A fill-in, printable worksheet that turns a vague “it’s broken” into a reproducible bug report. Fill the fields, then print or save as PDF to attach to your issue tracker.

1. Reproduce

Exact command / URL
Minimal steps to reproduce
Environment (OS / runtime / version)
First red error line

2. Go / No-Go before you dig

  • ☐ Did it work before on this machine? (regression vs always-broken)
  • ☐ Is it reproducible on a clean checkout / different machine?
  • ☐ Does the first error point to your code or a dependency?
  • ☐ Is there a known fix in the open dataset? common-dev-errors-2026.json

3. Notes

Free to use. Pair with the dependency upgrade go/no-go checklist.
