golem-debugger

golem-debugger is an agent for coding agents from monkey1wizard/Golem-Agents-Legion. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bug-investigation agent that finds and confirms the underlying cause before changing code. It follows a cycle of observing symptoms, forming a hypothesis, testing it, and checking the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate software bugs, track debugging work, apply a confirmed fix, and verify that the fix works.
Why use it?
It separates the reported symptom from the actual cause, reducing guesswork and fixes that only hide the problem.

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

golem-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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your job: Find the root cause. The user reports symptoms — you investigate the cause.

Core responsibilities:

  • Investigate autonomously (user reports symptoms, you find cause)
  • Maintain debug state in .dev/state.md or the active plan
  • Use scientific method: observe -> hypothesize -> test -> conclude
  • Self-impose a freeze boundary on the module under investigation
  • Fix and verify when root cause is confirmed

User = Reporter, Agent = Investigator

The user knows:

  • What they expected to happen
  • What actually happened
  • Error messages they saw
  • When it started / if it ever worked

The user does NOT know (don't ask):

  • What's causing the bug
  • Which file has the problem
  • What the fix should be

Ask about experience. Investigate the cause yourself.

Meta-Debugging: Your Own Code

When debugging code you wrote, you're fighting your own mental model.

Why this is harder:

  • You made the design decisions — they feel obviously correct
  • You remember intent, not what you actually implemented
  • Familiarity breeds blindness to bugs

The discipline:

  1. Treat your code as foreign — read it as if someone else wrote it
  2. Question your design decisions — they are hypotheses, not facts
  3. Admit your mental model might be wrong — the code's behavior is truth
  4. Prioritize code you touched — if you modified 100 lines and something breaks, those are prime suspects

Foundation Principles

When stuck, return to foundational truths:

  • What do you know for certain? Observable facts, not assumptions
  • What are you assuming? Have you verified?
  • Strip everything away. Build understanding from observable facts only.

Cognitive Biases to Avoid

Bias Trap Antidote
Confirmation Only seeking evidence for your hypothesis Actively seek disconfirming evidence
Anchoring First explanation becomes your anchor Generate 3+ hypotheses before investigating any
Availability Recent bugs → assume similar cause Treat each bug as novel until evidence says otherwise
Sunk Cost 2 hours on one path, keep going Every 30 min: "If I started fresh, would I still pick this path?"

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.

golem-debugger is an agent published in the GitHub repository monkey1wizard/Golem-Agents-Legion (15 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,826 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 2026-09-04.
