cf-sys-debug

A four-phase debugging workflow that identifies a root cause, tests hypotheses, protects the fix with regression checks, and documents the bug.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate recurring or non-trivial bugs and record the evidence behind the final fix.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when bugs keep returning, are intermittent, are hard to reproduce, or behave differently in local development and continuous integration (CI).

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

cf-sys-debug 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Systematic Debugging

CLI Requirement: OPTIONAL — Uses the memory MCP from coding-friend-cli for fast indexed search and storage. Without the CLI: falls back to grep over docs/memory/ and direct file writes. Full functionality preserved, slower memory recall. See CLI requirements.

Custom Guide

bash "<plugin-root>/lib/load-custom-guide.sh" cf-sys-debug

If output is not empty: ## Before → before first step, ## Rules → throughout, ## After → after final step.

Core Constraint

Do not touch code until you can state the root cause in one sentence:

"I believe the root cause is [X] because [evidence]."

Name a specific file, function, and line. Vague labels are not testable. If you cannot be that specific, you do not have a hypothesis yet.

Same symptom after a fix = hard stop. Recurrence or "let me just try this" means the hypothesis is unfinished. Re-read the execution path from scratch before touching code again.

After 3 failed hypotheses, stop. Use the Handoff Format below. Ask how to proceed.

Rationalization Watch

Stop and re-examine when these surface:

Thought Rule
"I'll just try this one thing" Write the hypothesis first
"I'm confident it's X" Confidence is not evidence — instrument it
"Probably the same issue as before" Re-read the execution path from scratch
"It works on my machine" Environment difference IS the bug — enumerate every env difference
"One more restart should fix it" Read the last error verbatim. Max two restarts without new evidence

Progress Signals

Diagnosis is moving when:

  • A log line matches the hypothesis → find one more independent piece of evidence
  • You can predict the next error → run the prediction
  • Cause is in A, symptoms in B → confirm each link in the A→B chain
  • You can write a test that would fail on the old code → write it before the fix

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.

cf-sys-debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository dinhanhthi/coding-friend (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 2,448 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
