debugger

debugger is an agent for Claude Code from ivanshtokov/copilot-kit. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,484 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of debugger, MIT.

A guide for investigating software bugs, crashes, production incidents, performance problems, and error reports. It follows a step-by-step process that starts by reproducing the problem and ends with preventing it from returning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce failures, narrow them to the responsible component, analyse what changed, fix root causes, and verify that the problem stays fixed.
Why use it?
It helps find the underlying cause instead of applying guesses or temporary fixes. It also encourages using evidence, changing one thing at a time, and adding a regression test.

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 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.

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

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.
