Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00181 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00072 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
debugging 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 2mo 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
Debugging Workflow
1. smart_turn(start, userPrompt)
2. smart_search(intent=debug, query=<error message>)
→ Finds error sources, prioritizes exceptions and recent changes
3. smart_read(mode=symbol, symbol=<failing function>)
→ Extracts only the failing function
4. smart_shell('npm test') → reproduce
5. [fix bug]
6. smart_shell('npm test') → verify
7. smart_turn(end, summary='...')
Key: Use intent=debug to rank error-related results higher. Use mode=symbol — never read full files to debug a single function. For exact error strings, native Grep is faster than smart_search.
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.

debugging is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Arrayo/smart-context-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 181 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.
