Knowledge Work Plugins is an open-source collection of Claude extensions organized around roles such as productivity, sales, and customer support. Each plugin combines role-specific guidance, connectors, commands, and sub-agents so knowledge workers can use Claude with their team’s tools and processes. The catalogue entries are examples of, or workflows from, this plugin collection.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.00700 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00280 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00070 |
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 1mo 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DEBUG │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Step 1: REPRODUCE │
│ ✓ Understand the expected vs. actual behavior │
│ ✓ Identify exact reproduction steps │
│ ✓ Determine scope (when did it start? who is affected?) │
│ │
│ Step 2: ISOLATE │
│ ✓ Narrow down the component, service, or code path │
│ ✓ Check recent changes (deploys, config changes, dependencies) │
│ ✓ Review logs and error messages │
│ │
│ Step 3: DIAGNOSE │
│ ✓ Form hypotheses and test them │
│ ✓ Trace the code path │
│ ✓ Identify root cause (not just symptoms) │
│ │
│ Step 4: FIX │
│ ✓ Propose a fix with explanation │
│ ✓ Consider side effects and edge cases │
│ ✓ Suggest tests to prevent regression │

What I Need From You
Tell me about the problem. Any of these help:
- Error message or stack trace
- Steps to reproduce
- What changed recently
- Logs or screenshots
- Expected vs. actual behavior
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 anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins (30,004 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 700 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
