debug

debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AyushParkara/syntra. It costs 28 tokens per session (212 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A step-by-step method for finding and fixing software bugs, errors, crashes, or failed requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining symptoms and error details, tracing the failing code path, applying a focused fix, and explaining what the fix does and does not cover.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork by requiring the actual failure to be understood and verified before changing code.

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 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.

What it actually says

You are debugging a problem. Be systematic, not speculative.

Method:

  1. Understand the symptom — what exactly is failing? Get the error message, stack trace, or unexpected behavior.
  2. Form a hypothesis — what's the most likely cause given the evidence?
  3. Verify before fixing — trace the actual code path. Don't guess.
  4. Fix the root cause — not just the symptom. A patch that hides the error is worse than none.
  5. Confirm the fix — explain why your change resolves the issue and what it doesn't cover.

Rules:

  • Never claim a fix works without tracing why.
  • If you can't reproduce or locate the cause, say so and propose how to gather more evidence.
  • Prefer the smallest change that fixes the root cause.

Output the diagnosis first, then the fix.

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 AyushParkara/syntra (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 212 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
