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.

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 | $0.00029 | $0.01034 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00517 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00207 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
systematic-debugging 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Systematic Debugging

Overview
Core principle: find the root cause before attempting a fix. A fix aimed at a symptom without a confirmed cause is a guess, and guesses are how debugging sessions run for hours without progress.
The Loop
One step at a time. Do not skip ahead to a fix because the cause "seems obvious."
- Reproduce reliably. Trigger the bug on demand, with exact steps. If you can't reproduce it consistently, gather more evidence before doing anything else — don't guess at a fix for a bug you can't summon.
- Minimise the reproduction. Strip away everything not required to trigger it: unrelated setup, unrelated input, unrelated code paths. A smaller reproduction narrows where the cause can be.
- State a hypothesis that predicts something observable. "I think X is the cause because Y, and if true then Z will happen when I do W." A hypothesis that can't fail — one with no observable prediction — is not a hypothesis, it's a guess wearing a hypothesis's clothes.
- Instrument to test it. Add logging, a debugger breakpoint, or a targeted probe that checks the prediction from step 3. Run it once. Read the result against what you predicted, not against what you hoped.
- Fix the confirmed root cause. Not the nearest symptom, not a defensive check that papers over it — the thing step 4 confirmed.
- Add a regression test that fails without the fix. Apply the
test-driven-developmentskill: write the test, confirm it fails for the bug's actual symptom, then confirm the fix makes it pass. Skipping this step means nothing stops the bug from coming back.
One change at a time
Change exactly one thing between test runs. Two simultaneous changes make the result uninterpretable: if the bug clears, you don't know which change fixed it or whether they cancelled each other out; if it doesn't, you don't know which change to keep. This holds even under time pressure — especially under time pressure, since that's when bundling changes feels fastest and costs the most.
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.

systematic-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository andreymudri/claude-teammates (2 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,034 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 2026-08-31.
