root-cause-hypothesis

root-cause-hypothesis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. It costs 0 tokens per session (47 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for investigating possible causes of a software problem. Each possible cause is linked to evidence, code locations, a confirming test, a fix, and its risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rank bug hypotheses, plan tests, locate relevant code, and choose a safer fix.
Why use it?
It keeps debugging focused on evidence and makes competing explanations easier to compare.

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

root-cause-hypothesis 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

Root Cause Hypothesis

For each hypothesis:

cause
supporting evidence
contradicting evidence
code location
test to confirm
fix option
risk

Rank by evidence, not confidence theater.

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.

root-cause-hypothesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team (106 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 47 tokens. 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.
