debug-ohmycode

A troubleshooting guide for OhMyCode, a coding assistant that can call tools and connect to AI providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when OhMyCode reports errors, crashes, timeouts, failed streaming, broken context compression, missing memory, or unexpected responses.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether an OhMyCode problem comes from installation, an API connection, tool execution, context handling, storage, or prompting.

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-ohmycode 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 2d 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.

Debug OhMyCode

Systematic approach to diagnosing and fixing OhMyCode issues.

When to Use

  • User reports an error or crash
  • Tool calls fail unexpectedly
  • API connection issues
  • Streaming not working
  • Context compression misbehaving
  • Memory or conversation persistence issues

Diagnostic Flowchart

Error? → Which category?
├── "command not found" → Installation Issue
├── API/connection error → Provider Issue
├── Tool execution error → Tool Issue
├── "context compression failed" → Context Issue
├── Memory/resume not working → Storage Issue
└── Unexpected AI behavior → Prompt Issue

Category 1: Installation Issues

Symptoms: ohmycode: command not found, ModuleNotFoundError

Steps:

  1. Check installation: pip3 show ohmycode
  2. Check PATH: which ohmycode && ohmycode --help
  3. Reinstall: cd <project_dir> && ./scripts/setup-cli.sh
  4. Check Python version: python3 --version (needs 3.9+)

Category 2: Provider / API Issues

Symptoms: APIError, AuthenticationError, timeout, empty responses

Steps:

  1. Test API connectivity directly:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="...", base_url="...")
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="...", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}], max_tokens=10
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)
  1. Check config: cat ~/.ohmycode/config.json

    • Is api_key set?
    • Is base_url correct (trailing /v1)?
    • Is model name correct for this provider?
  2. Check provider registration:

from ohmycode.providers.base import PROVIDER_REGISTRY, auto_import_providers
auto_import_providers()
print(list(PROVIDER_REGISTRY.keys()))
  1. Check for rate limiting: look for 429 errors in output. OpenAI provider retries 3 times with [1, 2, 5]s delays.

  2. Azure-specific: verify azure_endpoint and azure_api_version in config.

Category 3: Tool Issues

Symptoms: Tool returns error, wrong output, tool not found

Steps:

  1. Check tool is registered:
from ohmycode.tools.base import TOOL_REGISTRY, auto_import_tools
auto_import_tools()
print(list(TOOL_REGISTRY.keys()))

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-ohmycode is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlphaLab-USTC/OhMyCode (131 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,286 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
