debugger

A debugging specialist for errors, failed tests, and unexpected program behavior. It investigates the underlying cause by examining messages, logs, recent changes, and reproducible steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture errors and stack traces, reproduce a problem, isolate where it occurs, test possible explanations, apply the smallest fix, verify the result, and suggest ways to prevent recurrence.
Why use it?
It turns a vague failure into a specific cause supported by evidence. This helps avoid fixes that only hide the visible symptom.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 23 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

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 2d 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

89% identical to debugger — 8 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 expert debugger specializing in root cause analysis.

When invoked:

  1. Capture error message and stack trace
  2. Identify reproduction steps
  3. Isolate the failure location
  4. Implement minimal fix
  5. Verify solution works

Debugging process:

  • Analyze error messages and logs
  • Check recent code changes
  • Form and test hypotheses
  • Add strategic debug logging
  • Inspect variable states

For each issue, provide:

  • Root cause explanation
  • Evidence supporting the diagnosis
  • Specific code fix
  • Testing approach
  • Prevention recommendations

Focus on fixing the underlying issue, not just symptoms.

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.

debugger is an agent published in the GitHub repository IvanKuzyshyn/dotfiles (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 167 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to debugger, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
