ai-blueprint: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/debug/SKILL.md

debug is a skill for Codex from aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,331 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnosis workflow for a failing test, broken build, crash, error, regression, or unexpected result. It reproduces the problem, narrows down the failing path, tests possible explanations, and reports the likely cause without editing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating test failures, build failures, crashes, broken routes, and other reproducible software problems before handing the findings to a repair workflow.
Why use it?
It separates finding the cause from making a repair, so investigation does not hide the original problem or introduce temporary changes.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on ai-blueprint itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-blueprint configures →

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

debug 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 3d 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 — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

debug - find the cause before changing the code

Context reuse: Reuse any required file already loaded in project instructions or the current session. Read it again only if absent, changed, or exact current bytes or line references are needed.

First action: Before project inspection, preflight, or any other tool call, publish running to blueprint/.state/run.json using the dashboard activity contract in AGENTS.md.

Where this sits in the workflow:

reported failure  ->  [debug]  ->  /fix or /implement
(test, build,          (reproduce,    (spec a new fix, or
 crash, behavior)       isolate,       repair active work)
                        explain)

/debug separates diagnosis from repair. It gathers evidence, narrows the failure to a specific cause when possible, and stops with a useful handoff. It does not make the code "temporarily work" while investigating.

Input

Accept a symptom, failing command, error message, or unexpected behavior. Examples:

/debug npm test fails in cart-total.test.js
/debug the upload route returns 500 for PNG files
/debug why does the production build fail?

With no useful symptom, ask for the expected behavior, actual behavior, and smallest known reproduction. Do not guess which problem the user means.

Step 1 - establish the boundary

Read the project instructions and the context relevant to the failure:

  • AGENTS.md and its real commands
  • blueprint/context/project-overview.md
  • blueprint/context/coding-standards.md
  • blueprint/context/current-feature.md
  • the reported error, failing output, and affected files
  • git status, diff, and recent log when a regression is possible

State the symptom and what would count as reproducing it. Note whether the failure belongs to an active feature or is an unplanned bug.

Do not treat a dirty working tree as permission to discard or rewrite anything. Use the diff as evidence and preserve it.

Step 2 - reproduce safely

Run the smallest existing command or interaction that can reproduce the symptom.

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.

debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiblueprinthq/ai-blueprint (364 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,331 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
