What is debug-skill CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions and reference notes for dap-cli, a command-line tool that lets AI coding agents debug programs. They describe its architecture, supported languages, commands, and design documents.

Use them when working on dap-cli, especially when building, testing, linting, formatting Go code, or checking its architecture and command interface.

They give an agent the project context and working rules it needs to make consistent changes without guessing how the code is organized.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00710	$0.00710
Opus 5	$0.00355	$0.00355
Sonnet 5	$0.00142	$0.00142
Haiku 4.5	$0.00071	$0.00071

Security

Grade A, and why

debug-skill CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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.

Project Overview

dap-cli (dap) is a CLI debugging tool for AI agents. It wraps the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) behind a simple CLI that agents call via Bash. A background daemon holds the stateful debug session; the CLI sends ephemeral commands via Unix socket.

Primary users: AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) Supported languages: Python (debugpy), Go (dlv), Node.js/TypeScript (js-debug), Rust/C/C++ (lldb-dap) — all via DAP backends

Remember to format the code with go fmt ./...

Quick Reference

make build      # Build binary
make test       # Run all tests
make lint       # Run go vet + staticcheck
make all        # lint + test + build

Architecture

CLI (cobra) → Unix socket → Daemon (holds DAP session) → TCP/stdio → Debug Adapter → Target

Design Docs

Read claudedocs/ for full context — these are the source of truth for architecture, API, and implementation plan:

claudedocs/design.md — Architecture, decisions, inspirations
claudedocs/api.md — Complete CLI API reference
claudedocs/implementation.md — Implementation plan with phases

Code Conventions

Go 1.22+
Formatting: gofmt (standard)
Linting: go vet + staticcheck
Testing: TDD — write test first, then implement
Error handling: Return errors, don't panic. Wrap with context via fmt.Errorf("doing X: %w", err)
Naming: Go conventions (exported = PascalCase, unexported = camelCase)
Dependencies: Minimal. Only google/go-dap and cobra. Stdlib for everything else.
Principles: KISS, DRY, flat file structure. Short and effective codebase. Every line earns its place.

Key Design Patterns

Auto-Context: Every execution command (debug, step, continue) blocks until stopped, then returns full context (location + source + locals + stack + output). No follow-up calls needed.
Invisible Daemon: Background process is an implementation detail. dap debug auto-starts it; dap stop kills it. No user-facing daemon management.
Backend Abstraction: Pluggable debug adapters (debugpy, dlv, js-debug, lldb-dap) behind a common interface. See claudedocs/design.md.
Multi-Session: --session <name> maps to independent daemon + socket (~/.dap-cli/<name>.sock). Default session = "default". Idle timeout (10 min) prevents orphan daemons.
Length-prefixed JSON IPC: CLI ↔ daemon communication over Unix socket. One request, one response per connection.

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-skill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository AlmogBaku/debug-skill (317 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 710 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 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 2026-08-30.
