Instead of just explaining the error message, the `/debug-trace` command prompts Claude to trace the call stack to find the root cause of the issue, not just the symptom. This command can analyze stack traces from various languages like Node.js, React, Python, and Java, and it has access to the user's project files to pinpoint the origin of the problem and suggest a one-line fix.
