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 | $0.00072 | $0.03023 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01511 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00605 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00302 |
Grade A, and why
adapter-development 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 4d 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.

AIDB Adapter Development Skill
Executive Summary
AIDB debug adapters provide language-agnostic debugging capabilities through the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). The architecture is component-based - adapters delegate to specialized components rather than implementing everything in monolithic classes.
For comprehensive architecture details, see docs/developer-guide/overview.md for the complete system architecture and data flow diagrams.
Core Architecture
DebugAdapter (base class)
├── ProcessManager - Process lifecycle (launch, monitor, stop, cleanup)
├── PortManager - Port acquisition, verification, release
├── LaunchOrchestrator - Launch sequence coordination
├── TargetResolver - Target type detection and normalization
├── SourcePathResolver - Source path resolution for remote debugging
└── AdapterHooksMixin - Lifecycle hooks for extension points
Key Principles
- Component Delegation: Adapters delegate to focused components (ProcessManager, PortManager, LaunchOrchestrator)
- Lifecycle Hooks: Customize behavior via hooks rather than overriding entire methods
- Resource Management: Centralized cleanup via ResourceManager
- Human-Cadence Debugging: Operations happen at human speed, not API speed
- Language-Agnostic Interface: Same Python interface works across Python, JavaScript, Java
Resource Files
This skill is organized into focused resource files for language-specific patterns:
- python-adapter-patterns.md - debugpy configuration, module vs script patterns
- javascript-adapter-patterns.md - vscode-js-debug, child sessions, Node.js patterns
- java-adapter-patterns.md - java-debug + JDT LS integration, compilation
Related Skills
When working on adapter development, you may also need:
- dap-protocol-guide - Adapters heavily rely on DAP protocol types and request/response patterns
- testing-strategy - Adapters must be tested using E2E patterns with DebugInterface abstraction
- code-reuse-enforcement - Always check for existing utilities before implementing adapter components
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.

adapter-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-debugger-inc/aidb (21 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 3,023 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
