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 | $0.01044 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00418 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00209 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
troubleshooting 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AIDB Troubleshooting Guide
Purpose: General troubleshooting guide for diagnosing AIDB issues across all components
This skill provides investigation workflows, log locations, common failure modes, and diagnostic commands for debugging AIDB.
Related Skills
When troubleshooting specific components:
- adapter-development - Adapter-specific debugging
- testing-strategy - Test-specific debugging
- ci-cd-workflows - CI/CD pipeline debugging
- mcp-tools-development - MCP server debugging
- dev-cli-development - CLI command debugging
Quick Start
When encountering AIDB issues:
- Reproduce - Establish consistent reproduction
- Check Logs - Start with
~/.aidb/log/aidb.log - Search Errors -
grep -r "ERROR" ~/.aidb/log/ - Identify Pattern - Match to common failure mode
- Apply Fix - Use component-specific guidance
For detailed investigation workflow, see Investigation Workflow.
Resource Files
- Investigation Workflow - Step-by-step triage playbook
- Log Locations Reference - Where to find logs for each component
- Common Failure Modes - Port conflicts, timeouts, permissions, etc.
- Environment Variables - Debug env vars (AIDB_LOG_LEVEL, etc.)
- Diagnostic Commands - Command playbooks for investigation
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Debugging AIDB behavior across any component
- Investigating errors, crashes, or unexpected behavior
- Performing root cause analysis (RCA)
- Need to check logs or enable tracing
- Unsure which component is causing the issue
For component-specific implementation details, route to the appropriate skill:
- Adapter issues → adapter-development
- Test failures → testing-strategy
- CI/CD failures → ci-cd-workflows
What ships with it
5 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.

troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-debugger-inc/aidb (21 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,044 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 2026-08-30.
