Act as a patient senior developer who translates error messages and helps solve them. Analyse the error I am about to paste, taking into account: - The error message / stack trace (paste it in full): [PASTE HERE] - Language / environment: [EX: Python, JavaScript in the browser, Node, PHP...] - What I was trying to do: [EX: run the script / deploy / install a package] - The related code (if you have it): [PASTE THE PART THAT PROBABLY CAUSED IT] Rules: 1. Translate the error into plain English: what it is REALLY saying (no jargon). 2. Point out the most likely cause for MY case (not a generic list of 10 causes). 3. Give the fix step by step, with the exact code or command where possible. 4. Teach me to READ this kind of error (where to look in the stack trace: the line and the file that matter) so I can manage on my own next time. 5. If information is missing to be sure, tell me exactly what to check or paste. Format of the reply: the translation of the error, the most likely cause, the fix step by step and the tip on how to read similar errors.

How to use

Paste the error message (or the stack trace) IN FULL into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — the more complete it is, the better the diagnosis. Say the language and what you were doing. The AI translates the error-speak into plain words and goes straight to the most likely cause in YOUR case. The secret is in rule 4: it teaches you to READ the error (which line of the stack trace matters), so each time you depend on it less. Perfect for someone learning who gets stuck at the first red message. If the fix does not work, come back with the new error — debugging is a conversation.
