M3E: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/kiro-debug/SKILL.md

kiro-debug is a skill for Codex from akaghef/M3E. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,194 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-debug, MIT.

A root-cause debugging procedure for investigating implementation failures using code, runtime settings, error output, and relevant documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for identifying the cause of a failure, creating a fix plan, and defining how to verify the result.
Why use it?
It prevents guess-first fixes when a task is blocked, validation fails, or the same problem keeps returning.

Skill for Codex

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

This is akaghef/M3E's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on M3E 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 M3E 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

kiro-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 5d 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.

kiro-debug

<background_information> This skill is for fresh-context root cause investigation. It combines local evidence, runtime/config inspection, and external documentation or issue research when available. It is not a patch generator for guess-first debugging. </background_information>

  • Implementer reports BLOCKED
  • Reviewer rejection repeats after remediation
  • Validation fails unexpectedly
  • A task appears to conflict with runtime or platform reality
  • The same failure survives more than one attempted fix

Do not use this skill to speculate about fixes before gathering evidence.

Inputs

Provide:

  • Exact failure symptom or blocker statement
  • Error messages, stack trace, and failing command output
  • Current git diff or summary of uncommitted failed changes
  • Task brief: what was being built
  • Reviewer feedback, if the failure came from review rejection
  • Relevant spec file paths (requirements.md, design.md)
  • Relevant requirement/design section numbers
  • Relevant ## Implementation Notes
  • Runtime or environment constraints already known

Outputs

Return:

  • ROOT_CAUSE
  • CATEGORY
  • FIX_PLAN
  • VERIFICATION
  • NEXT_ACTION: RETRY_TASK | BLOCK_TASK | STOP_FOR_HUMAN
  • CONFIDENCE: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
  • NOTES

Use the language specified in spec.json.

Method

1. Read the Error Carefully

Extract:

  • Exact error text
  • Stack trace or failure location
  • The command that produced the failure
  • Whether the failure is deterministic or intermittent

2. Inspect Local Runtime and Repository State

Inspect the repository for local evidence:

  • package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Makefile, README*
  • Build config
  • tsconfig or equivalent language/runtime config
  • Runtime-specific config
  • Dependency versions and scripts
  • Relevant changed files from git diff

3. Search the Web if Available

If web access is available, search:

  • The exact error message
  • The technology + symptom combination
  • Official documentation
  • Version-specific issue trackers or migration notes

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.
