debug-bridge-scaffold

debug-bridge-scaffold is a skill for Claude Code from AxGord/claude-workflow. It costs 16 tokens per session (761 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building a small debugging service when an application's technology has no suitable inspection tool. The service exposes local HTTP endpoints, such as health checks and screenshots, while safely running application work on its main thread.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether a custom debug bridge is needed and to design one for screenshots, health checks, and other runtime inspection actions.
Why use it?
It provides a standard way to inspect runtime state without building a bridge when existing browser, accessibility, or computer-use tools already solve the problem.

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-bridge-scaffold 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 7d 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 Bridge Scaffold

When to Use

When you need runtime inspection of an application built with a technology that has no existing debug bridge.

Step 1: Check Existing Solutions First

Before building a custom bridge, check if a standard tool already works:

Technology Existing Solution
Web/Electron/browser apps Playwright MCP, browser DevTools
Native apps with standard UI toolkit Accessibility API MCP
Any app with visible UI Computer Use (screenshot + click)
OpenFL/hxcpp debug-bridge-openfl skill (already exists)

If an existing solution covers your needs — use it. Don't build a bridge.

Step 2: Build a Custom Bridge

If no existing tool works, create an HTTP bridge following this pattern:

Architecture

[Background Thread] HTTP Server (127.0.0.1:PORT)
    ↓ accept()
[Worker Thread] Parse request → dispatch to main thread
    ↓ runOnMainThread(fn)
[Main Thread] Execute handler → return result
    ↑ result via Lock/Mutex
[Worker Thread] Send HTTP response

Required Endpoints

Endpoint Method Purpose
/ping GET Health check
/screenshot GET Capture visual state → save to /tmp → return path
/shutdown POST Graceful exit

Framework-Specific Endpoints

Add endpoints relevant to the technology:

  • UI frameworks: display tree, component inspection, event simulation
  • Game engines: scene graph, entity list, physics state
  • Servers: request log, connection pool, cache state

Implementation Checklist

  1. HTTP server on background thread (127.0.0.1 only — no external access)
  2. Main-thread dispatch for all UI/rendering operations
  3. JSON envelope: {"ok": true, "data": ...} / {"ok": false, "error": "..."}
  4. Conditional compilation (only in debug builds)
  5. Graceful shutdown (close socket, flush stdout, exit)

Step 3: Create a Tech-Specific Skill

After building the bridge, create ~/.claude/skills/debug-bridge-<tech>/SKILL.md with:

debug-bridge-scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository AxGord/claude-workflow (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 761 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.
