bug-investigation

bug-investigation is a skill for Claude Code from 1024XEngineer/bytemind. It costs 16 tokens per session (136 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for investigating software bugs using reproduction steps, logs, code paths, and stated root-cause hypotheses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a bug, reproduce the failure, identify its likely cause, propose a fix, and define verification steps.
Why use it?
It prevents fixes based on guesses by requiring observable evidence first.

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

bug-investigation 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 6d 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

bug-investigation

Workflow

  1. Clarify symptom, expected behavior, and actual behavior.
  2. Provide a minimal reproducible path.
  3. Collect evidence (logs, call chain, code location, command outputs).
  4. State root-cause hypotheses with confidence levels.
  5. Propose a minimal fix and verification steps.

Output Contract

  • Symptom Summary
  • Reproduction Steps
  • Evidence
  • Root Cause Hypothesis
  • Fix and Verification Plan
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
