debug-pipeline

debug-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from harness/harness-skills. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,500 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A diagnostic tool for Harness pipeline runs. Harness is a service that automates software builds and deployments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect stages and steps, find bottlenecks, read failed-step logs, review pipeline YAML, and follow failures into chained pipelines.
Why use it?
It turns a failed or slow pipeline run into a report showing where time was spent, which steps failed, and what logs or configuration explain the problem.

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-pipeline 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.

Debug Pipeline

Diagnose pipeline executions and suggest fixes via MCP.

Instructions

Step 1: Diagnose Execution (Preferred)

Use the dedicated diagnosis tool. It accepts an execution_id, pipeline_id (auto-fetches latest execution), or a Harness URL:

Call MCP tool: harness_diagnose
Parameters:
  pipeline_id: "<pipeline_identifier>"   # or execution_id or url
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

This returns a structured report with stage/step breakdown, timing, bottlenecks, and failure details in one call. It also automatically follows chained (child) pipeline failures.

Step 1b: Full Diagnostic Mode

For deeper analysis, request logs and pipeline YAML:

Call MCP tool: harness_diagnose
Parameters:
  execution_id: "<execution_id>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  summary: false               # raw diagnostic payload
  include_yaml: true           # include pipeline definition
  include_logs: true           # include failed step logs
  log_snippet_lines: 120       # tail N lines per step (0 = unlimited)
  max_failed_steps: 5          # cap number of steps to fetch logs for

Diagnose Parameters

Parameter Default Description
execution_id -- Specific execution to analyze
pipeline_id -- Fetch latest execution for this pipeline
url -- Harness UI URL (auto-extracts IDs)
summary true Structured report (true) or raw payload (false)
include_yaml false (summary) / true (raw) Include pipeline YAML definition
include_logs false (summary) / true (raw) Include failed step logs
log_snippet_lines 120 Max log lines per step (tail). 0 = unlimited
max_failed_steps 5 Max steps to fetch logs for. 0 = unlimited

Step 2: Project Health Overview

Check overall project health for context:

Call MCP tool: harness_status
Parameters:
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

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.
