debugging

A systematic guide for finding and fixing problems in Tauri applications. Tauri applications commonly combine a React interface, a Rust backend, and database or command communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for crashes, failing tests, incorrect data, UI problems, database errors, communication mismatches, slow operations, memory leaks, and other integration issues.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a repeatable process for observing failures, testing possible causes, and checking the results.

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

debugging 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 2d 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.

Debugging Skill

Systematic debugging strategies for diagnosing and fixing issues in Tauri applications.

Overview

This skill provides debugging guidance for:

  • Rust backend issues: Panics, errors, async problems, database failures
  • React frontend issues: Runtime errors, UI problems, state management issues
  • Integration problems: Tauri command failures, type mismatches, serialization errors
  • Database issues: Query failures, connection problems, migration errors
  • Performance issues: Slow operations, memory leaks, blocking calls

When This Skill Applies

This skill activates when:

  • Application crashes or panics
  • Functions return errors
  • UI doesn't work as expected
  • Tests are failing
  • Performance is degraded
  • Data is incorrect or corrupted
  • Features don't work together properly

Debugging Framework

The Scientific Method

  1. Observe: What exactly is happening?
  2. Formulate Hypothesis: What could be causing this?
  3. Test Hypothesis: How can we verify?
  4. Analyze Results: Does this confirm or reject hypothesis?
  5. Iterate: If not solved, form new hypothesis

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.

debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository cacr92/WeReply (6 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 3,840 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
