+# Continue PR Review Bot - Troubleshooting Guide
+
+## Quick Diagnostic Steps
+
+Use the enhanced debug workflow to identify issues:
+
+1. **Copy the diagnostic workflow** to the target repository:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .github/workflows/code-review-debug.yml /path/to/siblings-write/.github/workflows/
+   ```
+
+2. **Commit and push** the workflow to trigger it on the next PR
+
+3. **Review the detailed logs** - each step now includes:
+   - ✅ Success indicators
+   - ❌ Error messages with context
+   - 🔍 Debug information
+   - 💡 Troubleshooting hints
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### 1. Missing or Invalid API Key
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Exit code 1
+- Authentication failures
+- "API key not found" errors
+
+**Solution:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Get a fresh API key
+# Visit: https://hub.continue.dev/settings/api-keys
+
+# 2. Add to repository secrets
+# Go to: Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
+# Create secret: CONTINUE_API_KEY
+# Paste your key (starts with "cnt_...")
+```
+
+### 2. Assistant Not Found
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- "Config not found" errors
+- "continuedev/code-reviewer" not accessible
+
+**Solution:**
+
+- Option A: Use the default assistant by removing `--config` flag
+- Option B: Create your own assistant at hub.continue.dev
+- Option C: Use a different public assistant
+
+**Modify the workflow:**
+
+```yaml
+# Instead of:
+cn --config continuedev/code-reviewer -p "$PROMPT" --auto
+
+# Try:
+cn -p "$PROMPT" --auto  # Uses default assistant
+# OR
+cn --config your-username/your-assistant -p "$PROMPT" --auto
+```
+
+### 3. CLI Installation Failures
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- npm install errors
+- "cn command not found"
+
+**Solution:**
+The debug workflow checks:
+
+- CLI installation success
+- CLI version
+- Command availability
+
+If this fails, check:
+
+- Network connectivity in GitHub Actions
+- npm registry access
+- Node.js version compatibility
+
+### 4. GitHub Permissions
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Cannot post comments
+- Cannot read PR details
+
+**Solution:**
+Ensure workflow has correct permissions:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  pull-requests: write
+  issues: write
+```
+
+## Debug Workflow Features
+
+The diagnostic workflow (`code-review-debug.yml`) includes:
+
+### Enhanced Validation
+
+- ✅ Validates API key presence before running
+- ✅ Checks CLI installation and version
+- ✅ Verifies PR data fetching
+- ✅ Lists changed files for transparency
+
+### Better Error Messages
+
+- Detailed error context with exit codes
+- Troubleshooting hints inline
+- Common issue checklists
+- Links to relevant documentation
+
+### Debug Artifacts
+
+Uploads artifacts on every run (even failures):
+
+- `pr.diff` - The PR changes
+- `changed_files.txt` - List of modified files
+- `review_output.md` - Continue CLI output
+
+**Access artifacts:**
+
+- Go to Actions → Workflow run → Artifacts section
+- Download "review-debug-artifacts.zip"
+
+## Step-by-Step Debugging Process
+
+1. **Run the debug workflow** on a test PR
+
+2. **Check each step's output:**
+
+   - Look for ❌ error indicators
+   - Read the specific error messages
+   - Follow the inline troubleshooting hints
+
+3. **Common failure points (in order):**
+
+   - [ ] API key validation (Step: Validate Continue API Key)
+   - [ ] CLI installation (Step: Install Continue CLI)
+   - [ ] CLI verification (Step: Verify Continue CLI Installation)
+   - [ ] PR data fetching (Step: Get PR Details)
+   - [ ] Continue review execution (Step: Run Continue Review)
+   - [ ] Comment posting (Step: Post Review Comment)
+
+4. **Download artifacts** to inspect:
+   - Review the exact prompt sent to Continue
+   - Check the PR diff format
+   - Verify changed files list
+
+## Testing the Fix
+
+After applying fixes:
+
+1. Create a test PR or comment `@review-bot check for syntax errors`
+2. Monitor the workflow run in real-time
+3. Look for all ✅ indicators
+4. Verify the review comment appears on the PR
+

+- API Keys: https://hub.continue.dev/settings/api-keys
+- CLI Repository: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/tree/main/packages/cli
+
+## Need More Help?
+
+If the debug workflow still shows errors:
+
+1. **Check the Continue CLI logs** in the artifact download
+2. **Verify your Continue Hub account** has active credits/access
+3. **Test the API key locally:**
+   ```bash
+   export CONTINUE_API_KEY="your_key_here"
+   echo "test" | cn -p "Review this text" --auto
+   ```
+4. **Open an issue** with the debug workflow output attached
