phel-debugger

phel-debugger is an agent for coding agents from phel-lang/phel-lang. It costs 20 tokens per session (408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for Phel compilation, generated PHP, runtime, REPL, and test failures. It helps locate which compiler or runtime stage caused a symptom.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce failures, classify them as lexer, parser, analyzer, emitter, build, run, or runtime problems, and choose focused tests or commands for diagnosis.
Why use it?
It turns vague error messages into a focused place to investigate instead of searching the whole project.

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

phel-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 5d 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

Reproduce the failure first, then identify the phase: Lexer, Parser, Analyzer, Emitter, Build/Run, or Lang runtime.

Symptom Phase Where to look
UnexpectedToken, UnfinishedParser Lexer/Parser src/php/Compiler/Domain/{Lexer,Parser}/
AnalyzerException, cannot resolve symbol Analyzer src/php/Compiler/Domain/Analyzer/; special forms in TypeAnalyzer/SpecialForm/
Wrong PHP output, missing emit case Emitter src/php/Compiler/Domain/Emitter/, plus the closest .test fixture
FileException, namespace not found Build/Run src/php/Build/, src/php/Run/
PHP fatal in generated code Emitter or Lang diff fixture expected vs actual under tests/php/Integration/Fixtures/
REPL crash or hang Run/REPL src/php/Run/Domain/Repl/

Wrong line numbers in an error mean SourceLocation stopped propagating through a phase; a macroexpand stack overflow means a recursive macro with no base case.

Use focused tests or ./bin/phel commands. Keep edits out of scope unless the parent explicitly asks for a fix. Read the affected module's CLAUDE.md before tracing PHP internals. Report the failing command, phase, likely class or fixture, root cause, and next fix.

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.
