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

antithesis-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (assets/antithesis-debug.js, assets/download-mvd-log.sh, assets/process-logs.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 304 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Antithesis Multiverse Debugger

Skill version: 2026-09-08 2e4a837

Use the agent-browser skill to interact with the Antithesis multiverse debugger.

Every debugging session should use:

  • a fresh, unique SESSION value such as antithesis-debug-$(date +%s)-$$

Use --session-name antithesis so agent-browser manages shared authentication state automatically, while --session "$SESSION" keeps each debugging run isolated from other concurrent agents. Close the unique live session when debugging is complete.

When to use this skill

Use this when:

  • the user gives an Antithesis debugging-session URL
  • the user makes a request to inspect container filesystem, runtime state, or events inside Antithesis
  • the triage skill has launched an MVD session when investigating the results of a run

For auth and report navigation, use the antithesis-agent-browser skill. It owns the agent-browser session and authentication flow. This skill handles the debugger itself.

Prerequisites

  • DO NOT PROCEED if agent-browser is not installed. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser/refs/heads/main/README.md for installation options.
  • DO NOT PROCEED if agent-browser is older than version v0.23.4. You can upgrade with agent-browser upgrade.

Gathering user input

Before starting, collect the following from the user:

  1. Debugger URL (required) — A debugging-session URL like https://TENANT.antithesis.com/debugging-session/....
  2. What to investigate — Are we checking filesystem contents? Runtime state? Specific artifacts?
  3. Container name (if known) — The name of the container to target. If not provided, the log view or container dropdown will show available containers.

Simplified vs. advanced mode

The debugger has two modes. Prefer simplified mode — it is sufficient for most tasks.

Mode Best for How it works
Simplified Running shell commands, reading files, listing directories, extracting artifacts Click log lines to set moment/container, type bash commands, press Send
Advanced Programmatic inspection, branching, event sets, custom JavaScript, multi-step notebook workflows Monaco editor with JavaScript cells, action authorization, runtime API

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.
