debug

debug is a skill for Claude Code from greglas75/zuvo. It costs 55 tokens per session (7,618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A five-stage bug investigation workflow covering reproduction, narrowing, diagnosis, fixing, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for bug reports, error messages, stack traces, code references, and regressions where a previously working behaviour has broken.
Why use it?
It turns an error or unexpected behaviour into a confirmed cause, a checked fix, and a regression test—a test that prevents the bug from returning.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is 1. ../../shared/includes/codesift-setup.md -- [READ | MISSING -> STOP].

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

debug scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

zuvo:debug — Structured Bug Investigation

A disciplined five-phase process for turning a bug report, error message, or unexpected behavior into a confirmed root cause, verified fix, and permanent regression test.

Scope: Any bug, error, or unexpected behavior that needs investigation. Out of scope: Code quality sweeps (use zuvo:code-audit), general review (use zuvo:review), performance problems without a specific bug (use zuvo:performance-audit).

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the starting phase:

Input Starting point
(empty) Ask the user: "Describe the issue. Share the error message, stack trace, or explain what is happening."
Error message or stack trace Phase 1.5 (Minimal Reproduction) -- verify the error is reproducible before narrowing
Code snippet or file reference Phase 3 (Diagnose) -- read the code, trace the execution path
Description like "why does X" or "X is broken" Phase 1 (Reproduce) -- gather context before proceeding
--regression flag, or words like "bisect", "regression", "this used to work" Phase R (Regression Bisect) -- automated git bisect to find the breaking commit

Environment Compatibility

Dispatch follows ../../shared/includes/execution-policy.md through env-compat. Reuse existing authorization within that policy; session restrictions take precedence. Run each required gate and report its actual independence or an unmet requirement.

Read ../../shared/includes/env-compat.md for agent dispatch patterns, path resolution, and progress tracking across all supported platforms.

CodeSift Integration

Read ../../shared/includes/codesift-setup.md for the full initialization sequence.

Key tools for debugging:

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.

debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository greglas75/zuvo (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 7,618 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
