debugging-and-error-recovery

debugging-and-error-recovery is a skill for Claude Code from GuillemRoca/agent-skills-android. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A six-step process for finding and fixing unexpected Android behavior, such as crashes, failed tests, slow startup, or build failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate Android bugs with device details, Logcat, Android Studio debugging, profiling, and tests that guard against the problem returning.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with reproduction, cause isolation, a root fix, regression protection, and verification.

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

debugging-and-error-recovery 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 9d 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.

Debugging and Error Recovery

Overview

"Stop-the-Line Rule: when unexpected behavior occurs, halt feature work." Debugging is systematic, not guesswork. Reproduce the bug, localize the cause, reduce to the simplest case, fix the root cause (not the symptom), guard against regression, and verify the fix.

When to Use

  • Unexpected crash or exception
  • Test failure (unit or instrumented)
  • Behavior that doesn't match the spec
  • Performance regression (jank, slow startup)
  • Build failure after seemingly unrelated changes

Stop-the-Line: When you encounter unexpected behavior, stop feature work. Errors compound — a bug in step 3 makes steps 4–10 wrong.

Core Process

Step 1: Reproduce

  1. Reproduce the bug reliably:

    • Same device/emulator? Same API level? Same data?
    • What sequence of actions triggers it?
    • Does it happen every time or intermittently?

  2. Capture the environment:

    Device: Pixel 7 (API 35) / Emulator (API 26)
Build: debug / release
Steps: Open app → Navigate to Tasks → Tap "Add" → Crash
Frequency: Every time / ~30% of the time

    When the android CLI is available, use it for the fastest possible state capture before doing anything else:

    android info                                     # SDK location, JDK, env (rules out wrong-toolchain bugs)
android screen capture -o repro.png              # what the user sees right now
android layout --pretty --output=repro.json      # full UI tree (resource-ids, text, bounds, role)

    Three artifacts in <5 seconds, pre-debugger. Attach them to the bug report or commit them to a repro/ scratch dir before iterating. See references/android-cli-reference.md.

Step 2: Localize

  1. Read the error output carefully:

    Logcat:

    # Filter to your app
adb logcat -s "YourApp:D" "AndroidRuntime:E"

# Filter by tag
adb logcat -s TaskViewModel:D

# Search crash logs
adb logcat "*:E" | grep -i "fatal\|crash\|exception"

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.
