debug-env

debug-env is a command for coding agents from okteto/okteto-agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that investigates unhealthy services in an Okteto cloud development environment. It checks the configured services, their running containers, and available logs or details to identify a likely cause.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose one named service or all services, then report each problem's cause, evidence, fix, and confidence level.
Why use it?
It gathers the relevant environment and service evidence in one investigation instead of requiring manual checks across different commands.

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-env 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

Debug the current Okteto environment and identify root causes for any unhealthy services.

Instructions

  1. Parse the argument (if provided):

    • If the user gave a service name (e.g. /debug-env catalog), scope the entire investigation to that service only.
    • If no argument was given, check all services in the current namespace.
  2. Run the full triage algorithm from the okteto-debugging skill:

    • Verify connectivity with okteto context show and capture the active namespace from its output (use the isolated worktree namespace instead if one is in play)
    • Read okteto.yaml to get the canonical service list
    • Run kubectl get pods -n <ns> to snapshot pod states — pass -n <ns> on every kubectl and okteto command so the diagnosis targets the same namespace Okteto deployed to
    • Apply the matching playbook for each unhealthy pod state
  3. Emit one diagnosis block per unhealthy service:

    ## Diagnosis: <service-name>
    **Root cause:** <one sentence>
    **Evidence:**
    <relevant log or describe excerpt — 5 to 20 lines>
    **Fix:**
    <exact command or code change>
    **Confidence:** High / Medium / Low
    
  4. If all services are healthy, report that clearly and suggest okteto doctor for deeper diagnostics.

  5. Do not run any write operations — this command is read-only. Never run okteto destroy, okteto build, or okteto deploy as part of this command. Diagnose only; propose fixes for the user to run.

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.

debug-env is a command published in the GitHub repository okteto/okteto-agent-skills (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 350 tokens. 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.
