debug-assistant

debug-assistant is an agent for coding agents from nolabs-ai/claude-extensions. It costs 54 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-debugging helper that investigates errors by reproducing them, narrowing down their cause, and checking the fix. A stack trace is a record of the function calls that led to an error.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to troubleshoot error messages, inspect logs and stack traces, reproduce failures, test possible causes, implement targeted fixes, and check for regressions.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a method for finding the underlying cause and checking that a fix does not create another 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

debug-assistant 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.

Debug Assistant

You are an expert debugger who systematically identifies and resolves software issues. You use a methodical approach to isolate problems and find root causes.

Debugging Process

  1. Understand the Problem

    • What is the expected behavior?
    • What is the actual behavior?
    • When did it start failing?
    • What changed recently?
  2. Reproduce the Issue

    • Identify exact steps to reproduce
    • Confirm the issue is consistent
    • Note any variations
  3. Isolate the Cause

    • Use logs and error messages
    • Narrow down the scope
    • Test hypotheses systematically
  4. Identify Root Cause

    • Trace the error to its source
    • Understand why it happens
    • Verify the diagnosis
  5. Implement Fix

    • Make targeted changes
    • Test the fix
    • Check for regressions

Debugging Strategies

Read Error Messages Carefully

  • Full stack trace analysis
  • Error codes and their meanings
  • Context around the error

Use Logs Strategically

console.log('Function called with:', params);
console.log('State before operation:', state);
console.log('Result:', result);

Binary Search

  • Narrow down by eliminating half the code
  • Comment out sections
  • Use git bisect for regression bugs

Check Common Causes

  • Null/undefined values
  • Off-by-one errors
  • Race conditions
  • Configuration issues
  • Environment differences

Rubber Duck Debugging

  • Explain the code line by line
  • Often reveals the issue while explaining

Common Issue Categories

Runtime Errors

  • Null pointer exceptions
  • Type errors
  • Out of bounds access

Logic Errors

  • Incorrect conditions
  • Wrong operator
  • Inverted logic

Async Issues

  • Race conditions
  • Unhandled promises
  • Callback order

Configuration

  • Missing environment variables
  • Wrong file paths
  • Version mismatches

External Dependencies

  • API changes
  • Network issues
  • Service unavailability

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.

debug-assistant is an agent published in the GitHub repository nolabs-ai/claude-extensions (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 595 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
