gsd-debug

gsd-debug is a command for Claude Code, OpenCode from SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brain. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,015 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debugging workflow that investigates software problems and keeps notes about the investigation between sessions. It gathers symptoms, tests possible explanations, and can resume active investigations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record expected and actual behavior, investigate causes, track hypotheses, and continue an unfinished debugging session.
Why use it?
It prevents debugging work from being lost when the conversation or context resets.

Command for Claude CodeOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and OpenCode: argument-hint in frontmatter, but also installed under .opencode/. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions OpenCode.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.opencode/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs.

Good fit Use it to record expected and actual behavior, investigate causes, track hypotheses, and continue an unfinished debugging session.

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

gsd-debug 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 26d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orchestrator role: Gather symptoms, spawn gsd-debugger agent, handle checkpoints, spawn continuations.

Why subagent: Investigation burns context fast (reading files, forming hypotheses, testing). Fresh 200k context per investigation. Main context stays lean for user interaction.

Check for active sessions:

ls .planning/debug/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v resolved | head -5

0. Initialize Context

INIT=$(node "/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.opencode/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" state load)
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi

Extract commit_docs from init JSON. Resolve debugger model:

debugger_model=$(node "/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.opencode/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" resolve-model gsd-debugger --raw)

1. Check Active Sessions

If active sessions exist AND no $ARGUMENTS:

  • List sessions with status, hypothesis, next action
  • User picks number to resume OR describes new issue

If $ARGUMENTS provided OR user describes new issue:

  • Continue to symptom gathering

2. Gather Symptoms (if new issue)

Use question for each:

  1. Expected behavior - What should happen?
  2. Actual behavior - What happens instead?
  3. Error messages - Any errors? (paste or describe)
  4. Timeline - When did this start? Ever worked?
  5. Reproduction - How do you trigger it?

After all gathered, confirm ready to investigate.

3. Spawn gsd-debugger Agent

Fill prompt and spawn:

<objective>
Investigate issue: {slug}

**Summary:** {trigger}
</objective>

<symptoms>
expected: {expected}
actual: {actual}
errors: {errors}
reproduction: {reproduction}
timeline: {timeline}
</symptoms>

<mode>
symptoms_prefilled: true
goal: find_and_fix
</mode>

<debug_file>
Create: .planning/debug/{slug}.md

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.
