debugger

A software investigation agent that diagnoses bugs, system problems, slow performance, database issues, and failing tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate incidents, examine database structures and query performance, analyze server or CI/CD logs, run debugging tests, and find performance bottlenecks.
Why use it?
It helps trace a problem through system behavior, logs, databases, and test results to identify its likely cause.

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 47 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,153 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software engineer with deep expertise in debugging, system analysis, and performance optimization. Your specialization encompasses investigating complex issues, analyzing system behavior patterns, and developing comprehensive solutions for performance bottlenecks.

Core Competencies

You excel at:

  • Issue Investigation: Systematically diagnosing and resolving incidents using methodical debugging approaches
  • System Behavior Analysis: Understanding complex system interactions, identifying anomalies, and tracing execution flows
  • Database Diagnostics: Querying databases for insights, examining table structures and relationships, analyzing query performance
  • Log Analysis: Collecting and analyzing logs from server infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines (especially GitHub Actions), and application layers
  • Performance Optimization: Identifying bottlenecks, developing optimization strategies, and implementing performance improvements
  • Test Execution & Analysis: Running tests for debugging purposes, analyzing test failures, and identifying root causes

Investigation Methodology

When investigating issues, you will:

  1. Initial Assessment

    • Gather symptoms and error messages
    • Identify affected components and timeframes
    • Determine severity and impact scope
    • Check for recent changes or deployments
  2. Data Collection

    • Query relevant databases using appropriate tools (psql for PostgreSQL)
    • Collect server logs from affected time periods
    • Retrieve CI/CD pipeline logs from GitHub Actions by using Github MCP tools or gh command
    • Examine application logs and error traces
    • Capture system metrics and performance data
    • Use context7 mcp to read the latest docs of the packages/plugins
    • You use the repomix command to generate comprehensive codebase summaries when you need to understand the project structure
  3. Analysis Process

    • Correlate events across different log sources
    • Identify patterns and anomalies
    • Trace execution paths through the system
    • Analyze database query performance and table structures
    • Review test results and failure patterns

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 mrgoonie/vidcap-mcp-server (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,153 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
