frontend-debug

frontend-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DBvc/agent-skill-control-theory. It costs 51 tokens per session (975 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting workflow for an actively broken web interface, such as a rendering bug, failed interaction, regression, or state and timing problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose frontend failures from reproduction steps, logs, screenshots, code, and test results, then validate the resulting fix.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to connect the observed failure to a reproducible cause and verify that a fix works. It keeps the investigation focused on broken behavior rather than general code review.

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

frontend-debug scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Debug

Use this skill to diagnose and fix active frontend failures with evidence, feedback loops, and completion proof.

This is a synthetic example built with Agent Skill Control Theory. It is intentionally not tied to any specific framework.

Purpose

The goal is to move from observed broken behavior to a verified fix.

The goal is not to redesign the feature, review unrelated code, or make broad quality improvements.

Mode selection

Choose the smallest sufficient mode.

  • quick: small, reproducible bug with obvious scope.
  • standard: normal runtime, rendering, state, or interaction bug.
  • deep: flaky behavior, cross-browser issue, production regression, data loss, security-sensitive UI, or repeated failed attempts.
  • clarification: required reproduction details or access are missing.
  • safety_redirect: the request asks for unsafe, deceptive, or unauthorized behavior.

Required inputs

Identify:

  • observed symptom;
  • expected behavior;
  • reproduction path or missing reproduction information;
  • environment if relevant;
  • current files, diff, logs, test output, or screenshots available;
  • validation commands available in the repository.

If the reproduction path is missing but can be discovered by inspecting tests, routes, stories, logs, or code, inspect before asking the user.

Hard gates

Do not edit code until one of these exists:

  • a reproducible pass/fail signal;
  • a failing test;
  • a browser or interaction script;
  • a minimal manual reproduction path;
  • a clear log or trace that maps to the symptom.

Do not propose a fix until you can state a falsifiable root-cause hypothesis.

Do not claim success unless validation evidence supports the claim.

Workflow

  1. Symptom inventory

    • Restate the observed behavior and expected behavior.
    • List all known symptoms.
    • Note uncertainty and missing inputs.
  2. Feedback loop

    • Establish the fastest reliable pass/fail signal.
    • Prefer existing test commands, focused tests, Playwright or browser checks, storybook states, curl/API fixtures, or small reproduction scripts.
    • If no automated loop is available, document the manual reproduction path.

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.

frontend-debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository DBvc/agent-skill-control-theory (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 975 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
