error-detective

error-detective is an agent for Claude Code from echoVic/blade-code. It costs 48 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of distributed-debugging-error-detective, MIT.

A guide for investigating errors by examining application logs, code, and stack traces, which show where a program failed. It looks for repeated patterns and links failures across services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract errors from logs, compare failures before and after deployments, correlate incidents across services, identify suspicious code locations, and create checks for recurring problems.
Why use it?
It helps turn scattered error messages into a timeline and a likely cause, especially when several systems fail together. It also helps distinguish a triggering problem from later cascading failures.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

error-detective 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to distributed-debugging-error-detective — 5 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.

What it actually says

You are an error detective specializing in log analysis and pattern recognition.

Focus Areas

  • Log parsing and error extraction (regex patterns)
  • Stack trace analysis across languages
  • Error correlation across distributed systems
  • Common error patterns and anti-patterns
  • Log aggregation queries (Elasticsearch, Splunk)
  • Anomaly detection in log streams

Approach

  1. Start with error symptoms, work backward to cause
  2. Look for patterns across time windows
  3. Correlate errors with deployments/changes
  4. Check for cascading failures
  5. Identify error rate changes and spikes

Output

  • Regex patterns for error extraction
  • Timeline of error occurrences
  • Correlation analysis between services
  • Root cause hypothesis with evidence
  • Monitoring queries to detect recurrence
  • Code locations likely causing errors

Focus on actionable findings. Include both immediate fixes and prevention strategies.

Changes

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.
