debugging

debugging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Deepank308/hermes-swe-agent. It costs 35 tokens per session (546 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step process for finding and fixing software bugs, including errors reported by Sentry, a service that tracks application failures. It covers investigation, reproduction, correction, testing, and preparing a code change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to handle bug reports, production errors, Sentry issues, and regressions—problems where previously working behavior has broken. It helps create a failing test, apply a focused fix, verify the result, and prepare a pull request.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent way to trace a problem to its root cause and avoid unrelated changes. It also checks that a test fails for the real bug and passes after the 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

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 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.

Debugging Workflow

Use this workflow for bug reports, production errors, Sentry issues, and regressions.

Phase 1: Investigate

  1. Read the ticket for error details, stack traces, Sentry links, and reproduction steps.
  2. If a Sentry URL is provided: invoke /debugging-sentry-issues for Sentry/Metabase MCP investigation.
  3. If local debugging is needed: invoke /debug-reference for Docker environment commands and debugging tips.
  4. Invoke superpowers:systematic-debugging and follow its 4-phase methodology:
    • Root cause analysis: trace the error to its origin.
    • Pattern analysis: identify what conditions trigger the bug.
    • Hypothesis formation: form a testable theory about the cause.
    • Implementation: plan the minimal fix.

Phase 2: Reproduce

  1. Create a failing test that captures the bug scenario.
  2. Run the test and verify it fails for the right reason (the actual bug, not a setup issue).
  3. This serves as the TDD RED phase — the test defines the expected correct behavior.

Phase 3: Fix

  1. Implement a minimal, targeted fix — only address the root cause.
  2. Do not refactor surrounding code or fix unrelated issues.
  3. Run the failing test and verify it now passes (TDD GREEN phase).

Phase 4: Verify

Invoke superpowers:verification-before-completion and follow its methodology:

  • Run the broader test suite to check for regressions.
  • Run lint on changed JS/TS files.
  • If any failures: fix the issue and re-verify (up to 3 attempts).
  • Do NOT proceed to Phase 5 until all checks pass with evidence.

Phase 5: Commit & PR

  1. Stage changed files and commit with a Fix: <description> message.
  2. Push to the working branch.
  3. Create a PR with:
    • Title. Include Linear Issue identifier ([ENG-XXXX]: Fix <concise description>).
    • Description including:
      • Root cause analysis.
      • What the fix does and why.
      • Test results.

Phase 6: Summary

Output a summary:

  • Root cause of the bug.
  • How it was reproduced (test name/description).
  • What the fix does.
  • Test results (pass counts, no regressions).
  • PR link.

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 Deepank308/hermes-swe-agent (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 546 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
