What this file changes for Root-Cause Debugging

Without it

Google AI Studio and Gemini SDK system instructions steer Gemini models with explicit Root-Cause Debugging roles, input constraints, and output formats, maximizing reasoning reliability and code fidelity.

What the file tells the agent
Reproduce first with the smallest failing test or command.
Find the breaking commit with git bisect when it used to work.
Test one hypothesis at a time and revert experiments that fail.
Never delete, skip, or weaken a failing test to make the build pass.
Keep the regression test and remove temporary logging.
04 / REPOSITORY PLACEMENT & 3-STEP TERMINAL INSTALLATION

How to Install Root-Cause Debugging Gemini System Instructions via Terminal

1

Step 1: Open Project Directory & Verify Target Placement

Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder where the prompts/gemini-system-instructions.json file will reside. Ensure the file is placed at the exact path below relative to your project root so the AI engine automatically loads it:

prompts/gemini-system-instructions.json
2

Step 2: Fetch Rule File via Terminal Command

Run curl, PowerShell, or wget to stream the rule directly from the DevScratchpad raw API endpoint and write it to prompts/gemini-system-instructions.json:

Terminal One-Liner Install

Run directly in your project root to stream and write this rule file with one command.

Raw API Stream
$mkdir -p "prompts" && curl -fsSL "https://www.devscratchpad.tech/api/raw/gemini-prompts/systematic-debugging" -o "prompts/gemini-system-instructions.json"

Step 3: Check that Gemini API and Google AI Studio uses it

Nothing loads this file automatically. Pass it as the system instruction in your Gemini API call, or paste it into Google AI Studio.

Technical FAQ: Root-Cause Debugging AI Rulebooks

How do I use this prompt in Google AI Studio?

Paste the text parts into the System instructions field in Google AI Studio, or load the JSON in code and pass it as the system instruction (system_instruction in REST, config.systemInstruction in the Google Gen AI SDK).

Which Gemini models support these instructions?

Current Gemini models in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio accept a system instruction. Check Google's model list for the one you use.
