Claude Code Debugging Quick Guide PDF: Fix Errors, Bug Report Template and Checklist

A short, plain-English guide for the moment your Claude Code project breaks. You learn what to do in the first five minutes, a six-step debugging loop, how to read an error and write a bug report Claude Code (the AI coding tool made by Anthropic) can act on, the twelve errors beginners hit most, and how to undo safely with rewind and Git. It is condensed from our full Claude Code Debugging Field Guide, so if you already own that guide, you have this material in fuller form.

• If the status bar does not say 'manual mode on', press Shift + Tab until it does, or start Claude Code with claude --permission-mode default (Chapter 1).
• Rewind only undoes edits made with Claude Code's file-editing tools; files changed by terminal commands such as rm or mv need Git (Chapter 5).
• Error wording can differ slightly between Node.js, Python and browser versions; match on the key phrase or code, such as ECONNREFUSED.
• Claude Code commands and menus were checked in October 2026; if something looks different, Anthropic's official Claude Code documentation is the source of truth.

■ GOOD TO KNOW
• Software, prices and plan names change. Pages marked "Version note" tell you what to re-check against official documentation.
• No income, ranking or business result is promised or implied.
• Made with AI assistance: the content was drafted with Claude, and the product was designed and assembled by ClaudeEverything.
