debug

A four-step debugging method: reproduce the problem, form a hypothesis, apply a fix, and verify the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate software bugs and guide the process from reproducing the failure through final verification.
Why use it?
It gives debugging a repeatable order and checks that a proposed fix actually resolves the original issue.

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.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (__init__.py, debug_runner.py, handler.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What ships with it

4 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.

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 Anantys-oss/koan (46 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed GPL-3.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 125 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.

issue-triage

Issue triage: audit open issues, categorize, detect duplicates, cross-ref PRs, risk assessment, post comments. Args: "all" for deep analysis of all, issue numbers to focus (e.g. "42 57"), "en"/"fr" for language, no arg = audit only in French.

Issue-backed plan persistence on GitHub via one managed issue comment with an idempotent marker. Prefers GitHub MCP when available and falls back to gh CLI when MCP is unavailable or misconfigured. Uses local plan persistence only when issue persistence is unavailable or not desired.

issue-answer

Answer a question directly — a sourced, neutral reply to an information/explanation/comparison request, from a GitHub issue or a Slack thread. Research repo docs and the web, output the answer, label question (GitHub only), leave open. Never write an agent brief, mark ready-for-agent, or change code.
