kiro-debug

kiro-debug is a skill for Codex from gotalab/cc-sdd. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,194 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A root-cause-first debugging procedure for implementation failures, repeated review rejections, and unexpected verification errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating blocked tasks, diagnosing failed checks, planning a fix, and defining how to verify the result.
Why use it?
It organizes evidence from errors, code changes, requirements, configuration, and documentation so fixes are based on the actual cause rather than guesses.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

About the project

cc-sdd is a spec-driven development workflow for coding agents: it turns approved software specifications into requirements, designs, task plans, and extended autonomous implementation. Developers use it across several AI coding agents, with independent review and task-level continuation for long-running work. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, agents, and instructions for using this workflow.

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

kiro-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 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.

kiro-debug

<background_information> This skill is for fresh-context root cause investigation. It combines local evidence, runtime/config inspection, and external documentation or issue research when available. It is not a patch generator for guess-first debugging. </background_information>

  • Implementer reports BLOCKED
  • Reviewer rejection repeats after remediation
  • Validation fails unexpectedly
  • A task appears to conflict with runtime or platform reality
  • The same failure survives more than one attempted fix

Do not use this skill to speculate about fixes before gathering evidence.

Inputs

Provide:

  • Exact failure symptom or blocker statement
  • Error messages, stack trace, and failing command output
  • Current git diff or summary of uncommitted failed changes
  • Task brief: what was being built
  • Reviewer feedback, if the failure came from review rejection
  • Relevant spec file paths (requirements.md, design.md)
  • Relevant requirement/design section numbers
  • Relevant ## Implementation Notes
  • Runtime or environment constraints already known

Outputs

Return:

  • ROOT_CAUSE
  • CATEGORY
  • FIX_PLAN
  • VERIFICATION
  • NEXT_ACTION: RETRY_TASK | BLOCK_TASK | STOP_FOR_HUMAN
  • CONFIDENCE: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
  • NOTES

Use the language specified in spec.json.

Method

1. Read the Error Carefully

Extract:

  • Exact error text
  • Stack trace or failure location
  • The command that produced the failure
  • Whether the failure is deterministic or intermittent

2. Inspect Local Runtime and Repository State

Inspect the repository for local evidence:

  • package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Makefile, README*
  • Build config
  • tsconfig or equivalent language/runtime config
  • Runtime-specific config
  • Dependency versions and scripts
  • Relevant changed files from git diff

3. Search the Web if Available

If web access is available, search:

  • The exact error message
  • The technology + symptom combination
  • Official documentation
  • Version-specific issue trackers or migration notes

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
