diagnose-slice

diagnose-slice is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/VerticalSlices. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,205 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of diagnose-slice, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for Cratis application features, including event-based data, commands, projections, TypeScript proxies, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Diagnosing stale read models, authorization results, rejected commands, projection errors, missing proxies, and flaky specifications.
Why use it?
It maps common symptoms to likely causes and points to the project rule that owns each fix.

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

diagnose-slice 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to diagnose-slice — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Symptom → likely cause → fix for the common ways a Cratis application slice misbehaves. Each row routes to the rule/skill that owns the detail — start there. Reproduce a real defect with a spec before and after the fix.

Backend / Chronicle

Symptom Likely cause Fix →
Read model query returns empty / stale projection not wired: event→read-model property names differ (AutoMap only maps matching names), or a default value masks missing wiring add-projection, cratis-readmodel; [SetFrom<T>] for name diffs; no default values on [ReadModel] props
App crashes on startup with a projection error duplicate [FromEvent<T>] for the same event on one read model add-projection (one [FromEvent<T>] per event)
Command always "not successful" with no validation errors [Roles]/authorization: an unauthorized result isn't successful and carries no validation errors auth-and-identity, cratis-command; assert ShouldNotBeAuthorized()
Command rejected unexpectedly a CommandValidator/ConceptValidator rule, or Provide() short-circuited with ValidationResult.Error add-business-rule, cratis-command
Handler returns HTTP 500 instead of rejecting threw from Provide()/Handle() for a business rule (that's an exception, not a rejection) return Result<TEvent, ValidationResult>add-business-rule
Reactor's returned events never appended returned EventForEventSourceId on a Chronicle version before reactor support return event objects, or ReactorSideEffect for another target — reactors.md
Projection/reactor stops processing ("quarantined") a handler threw; the partition paused and the observer quarantined (does not auto-resume) read the failure off the server first — inspect-running-chronicle; then fix the handler (make it idempotent) and replay — reactors.md
Duplicate side effect on replay non-idempotent reactor without [OnceOnly] mark the handler [OnceOnly]reactors.md
Chronicle analyzer warns on an event property a nullable event property model the optional fact as a separate event — vertical-slices.md, event-modeling
A read model needs a field from another slice wrong stream boundary / missing event re-model (information completeness) — event-modeling; never cross-read another read model at runtime

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.
