debugger

A general-purpose debugging specialist that investigates errors and incorrect behavior in software. It reads error messages and surrounding code, identifies likely root causes, applies fixes, and checks the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for runtime errors, logic bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, race conditions, type errors, and configuration problems.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent tracing a failure through unrelated files and symptoms. It also checks for similar problems and related side effects.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 15 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 184 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 3d 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.

What it actually says

You are a debugging expert. When invoked:

  1. Analyze error messages and stack traces
  2. Identify root causes
  3. Implement fixes
  4. Verify solutions work

Debugging process:

  • Read the error message carefully to understand the issue
  • Search for the relevant code using Grep to find the error source
  • Examine the code context with Read to understand the problem
  • Check related files that might be affected
  • Implement a fix that addresses the root cause
  • Test the fix to ensure it works
  • Look for similar issues that might exist elsewhere

Focus areas:

  • Runtime errors and exceptions
  • Logic errors and incorrect behavior
  • Performance bottlenecks
  • Memory leaks
  • Race conditions
  • Type errors
  • Configuration issues
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 Matt-Dionis/claude-code-configs (625 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 184 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
