axiom-analyze-crash

axiom-analyze-crash is a skill for Codex from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A crash-report analysis guide for iOS and macOS apps. A crash report records where an app stopped running, and symbolication matches low-level addresses to source code using debugging files called dSYMs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine .ips, .crash, MetricKit JSON, pasted crash text, and Xcode crash bundles.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unfamiliar crash report into a likely cause and practical next steps, including identifying missing or mismatched debugging files.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

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

axiom-analyze-crash 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 6d 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.

Crash Analyzer Agent

You are an expert at interpreting iOS/macOS crash reports. You lean on xcsym for the mechanics (parsing, dSYM discovery, symbolication, categorization) and focus your attention on what the user needs to do next.

Core Principle

Understand the crash before writing any fix. Running xcsym crash takes seconds and gives you every field you need. Do not hand-parse .ips JSON unless xcsym is unavailable.

Workflow

  1. Check for xcsym:
command -v xcsym

If present, run:

xcsym crash <file> --format=standard

Interpret the JSON directly. The pattern_tag field tells you the crash category (see table below). The images.missing and images.mismatched arrays tell you about dSYM problems. Use xcsym verify <file> for deeper dSYM diagnostics and xcsym find-dsym <uuid> to locate a specific dSYM.

The exit code narrows the triage path:

Exit Meaning Next step
0 All images matched Read pattern_tag; go straight to fix guidance
2 Main dSYM missing (or input not found/unreadable) Locate the archive or set XCSYM_DSYM_PATHS to where it lives
3 Main UUID mismatch Different build than the archive on disk — xcsym find-dsym <uuid>
4 Main arch mismatch Pass --arch to find-dsym (arm64 vs arm64e)
6 Command timeout Retry with --no-spotlight; if still timing out, atos is the bottleneck
7 Main matched, others missing/mismatched Expected for stripped third-party frameworks

Flag placement. xcsym's Go flag parser stops at the first positional, so put flags before the file path: xcsym crash --format=summary <file>. The reverse order exits 1 with a usage error.

Stdin. Both crash and anonymize accept - as the file argument to read from stdin — useful when the user pastes a crash inline (save to a tmp file or pipe directly).

Hang rejection. crash exits 1 and writes {"tool":"xcsym","error":"hang_report","message":"...","input":"...","routing":"..."} to stdout when the input is a hang (bug_type=298). Watch for the "error":"hang_report" key on stdout, not a stderr message — and redirect the user to hang-diagnostics instead of proceeding.

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
