haiku-debug

haiku-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gigsmart/haiku-method. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,271 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An administrative debugging skill for stuck or corrupted H·AI·K·U intents, which are tracked pieces of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Forcing a stage to complete, changing intent fields, resetting drift, or modifying feedback after the user confirms the operation.
Why use it?
It provides controlled recovery operations when the normal workflow cannot continue.

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

haiku-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 3d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Debug

Admin/recovery tools for intents that are corrupt, wedged, or otherwise stuck in ways the normal workflow engine can't recover from. Every mutating op routes through haiku_debug and surfaces a SPA picker for user confirmation before any state changes. The agent cannot run any admin op unilaterally.

Two surfaces — same five ops, two ways to drive them

  • SPA admin panel (user-driven, primary): browse to /debug on the haiku review server (default http://127.0.0.1:7320/debug). Pick an intent, see its current state + cursor preview, and run any of the five ops. The SPA's confirmation modal IS the elicitation gate — every mutation shows the exact request body before POST.
  • haiku_debug MCP tool (agent-driven, fallback): the agent calls the tool with op + args. The tool routes through runPicker so the user sees the same confirmation in the picker UI before any state mutates. Cancellation returns { action: "cancelled" } and no state changes.

Both surfaces call the same underlying debug-ops.ts functions. The agent cannot reach the ops without an explicit user click on either surface.

When to use this skill

  • An intent is stuck in a loop the engine's halt mechanism caught (loop_halted action) and the user wants to manually unblock it.
  • A stage's units have moved through every hat but the cursor won't advance because reviews/approvals/quality_gates aren't stamped.
  • The intent's mode is wrong (set to continuous when it should be autopilot, etc.) — mode is normally engine-managed, but mid-flight changes need an override.
  • Drift sweep keeps re-firing on stale witnesses even after the underlying state matches — re-stamp every witness to the current SHA.
  • A feedback record is in an impossible state (closed but resolution still null, etc.) and needs surgical FM mutation.

When NOT to use this skill

  • Use /haiku:haiku-repair first for the supported v4 recovery paths (drift baseline, worktree relocation, mainline PR generation).
  • Use /haiku:haiku-reset-stage or /haiku:haiku-reset-intent for full destructive resets.
  • For day-to-day workflow questions (why didn't this stage advance? what's the cursor doing?), reading the prompt file or haiku_intent_list is usually faster.

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.

haiku-debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository gigsmart/haiku-method (24 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,271 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
