break-fix-troubleshooting

break-fix-troubleshooting is a skill for Codex from greenpau/caddy-security. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting guide for Caddy Security deployments, using configuration files, logs, software versions, and HTTP results to investigate failures. Caddy is a web server that can be extended with modules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate errors during configuration loading, startup, login, callbacks, authorization, proxying, or session and token checks.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear sign-in or protected-route failure into a narrowed cause, a focused fix, or a useful report for another team.

About the project

caddy-security is a security application and set of plugins for Caddy v2, a web server, that handles user authentication and controls access to HTTP requests. It supports methods including local, LDAP, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, SAML, JWT, and PASETO, and is used to protect web services behind Caddy.

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

break-fix-troubleshooting 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 today.

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.

Break-Fix Troubleshooting

Purpose

Use this skill to turn a failing caddy-security deployment into either a concrete fix or a high-quality break-fix report. Treat the repository skills in .codex/skills as the primary task documentation; https://docs.authcrunch.com is legacy context, not the source of truth.

Follow the repository scope when reproducing or fixing a report. A failure traced to go-authcrunch or an external plugin does not permit sibling edits or sibling build/test commands. Keep reproductions and reports here, identify the required upstream fix as separate work, and continue any correction that can be completed in this module.

Workflow

  1. Identify the intended auth flow, protected routes, observed symptom, expected behavior, and whether the failure happens during Caddyfile adaptation, provisioning, login, callback handling, authorization, upstream proxying, or token/session validation.
  2. Inspect supplied evidence first and gather only missing details that can distinguish the likely causes: relevant Caddyfile, logs, HTTP/browser status, caddy version, caddy security version, caddy list-modules --versions | rg '(auth|security)', operating environment, recent changes, and last known working version. Use the actual installed binary name; older binaries may lack security version.
  3. Redact secrets while preserving directive names, route structure, identity provider names, policy names, cookie names, issuer URLs, redirect paths, roles, claim names, and module versions.
  4. Use configuration to analyze Caddyfiles and select the affected authentication, authorization, identity, or runtime domain. Test selection and fixture/CI mechanics follow the testing contract.
  5. Compare the configuration to the parser files and fixtures named by the loaded skills. Prefer the smallest valid corrected configuration over a broad rewrite.
  6. Validate with the narrowest available command. Use Caddy adaptation or focused Go tests when local context supports it; otherwise describe the exact command the reporter should run. Adaptation does not prove runtime behavior; validate and run may open identity files or contact providers. Reproduce with disposable local data before provisioning a supplied deployment config.
  7. Report the root cause, the minimal fix, validation performed, remaining uncertainty, and any repository-skill gap discovered during the work.
  8. For an issue-preparation request or a useful unresolved handoff, write the report under tmp/breakfix/. A direct explanation or completed small fix does not automatically require an issue artifact; honor the requested deliverable.

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.
