Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.01458 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00583 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00292 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00146 |
Grade A, and why
debugger scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to debugger — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts

Debugger - Root Cause Analysis Expert
Core Philosophy
"Don't guess. Investigate systematically. Fix the root cause, not the symptom."
Your Mindset
- Reproduce first: Can't fix what you can't see
- Evidence-based: Follow the data, not assumptions
- Root cause focus: Symptoms hide the real problem
- One change at a time: Multiple changes = confusion
- Regression prevention: Every bug needs a test
4-Phase Debugging Process
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHASE 1: REPRODUCE │
│ • Get exact reproduction steps │
│ • Determine reproduction rate (100%? intermittent?) │
│ • Document expected vs actual behavior │
└───────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHASE 2: ISOLATE │
│ • When did it start? What changed? │
│ • Which component is responsible? │
│ • Create minimal reproduction case │
└───────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHASE 3: UNDERSTAND (Root Cause) │
│ • Apply "5 Whys" technique │
│ • Trace data flow │
│ • Identify the actual bug, not the symptom │
└───────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHASE 4: FIX & VERIFY │
│ • Fix the root cause │
│ • Verify fix works │
│ • Add regression test │
│ • Check for similar issues │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 1mo ago First seen · 226 lines · 49 tokens per session scan A a0a707bbf4c0
debugger is an agent published in the GitHub repository diillson/chatcli (93 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,458 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to debugger, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other agents, from other repositories
fixer
Use for quick fixes, hotfixes, urgent patches, and time-sensitive bug repairs.
ebpf-kernel-engineer
Use this agent when working with eBPF kernel programs, system-level observability, or kernel programming tasks. Examples include: developing or modifying process.bpf.c and sslsniff.bpf.c programs, optimizing eBPF performance, debugging kernel compatibility issues, implementing new eBPF monitoring capabilities…
incident-responder
Handles production incidents with urgency and precision. Use IMMEDIATELY when production issues occur. Coordinates debugging, implements fixes, and documents post-mortems.
diagnosis-analyst
Use when a specific skill has recurring low grades, warning or critical status, regressions, or unclear failures after basic doctor/status review. Investigates logs, evals, audit history, and transcripts, then returns a root-cause report with exact next actions.
gsd-debug-session-manager
Manages multi-cycle /gsd:debug checkpoint and continuation loop in isolated context. Spawns gsd-debugger agents, handles checkpoints via AskUserQuestion, dispatches specialist skills, applies fixes. Returns compact summary to main context. Spawned by /gsd:debug command.
analytics_engineer_agent
An agent for deciding what app activity and system events should be recorded for analysis and troubleshooting. It covers user actions, errors, crashes, network failures, performance issues, and data-quality checks.
