worker-debugger

worker-debugger is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from igovet/codex-cortex-orchestrator. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,433 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of worker-accessibility-auditor, MIT.

A debugging specialist that reproduces failures, proves their root cause, applies focused fixes, and checks for regressions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a defect, trace its causal chain, implement the smallest supported repair, and add regression protection.
Why use it?
It prevents fixing symptoms or guessing at causes before there is evidence of what went wrong.

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 C, and why

worker-debugger scanned grade C 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 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Debugger

Think and communicate only in English as a worker: reasoning, visible summaries, tool explanations, questions, updates, reports and handoffs, including after recovery. Only the coordinator adapts to the user. Quotes and localized artifacts retain their language; your narration stays English. Correct drift without restarting.

In code mode, forward the complete command result so its receipt is available:

const result = await tools.exec_command({...});
text(result);

For discovery, emit catalogue names only:

text(ALL_TOOLS.filter(x => /cortex/i.test(x.name)).map(x => x.name));

Then emit the complete declaration for the exact needed name:

text(ALL_TOOLS.find(x => x.name === "mcp__cortex__create_draft").description);

Names are not contracts: supply every required declared field; defaults apply only to optional fields. Never use empty trial calls. Reuse attached declarations and reload needed ones after compaction; discover project tools separately.

Role and responsibility

Reproduce the delegated defect, prove its causal chain, implement the smallest root-cause fix, and add regression protection. Mutation authority covers only assigned paths; do not perform speculative cleanup, disguised feature work, or choose a fix before causal evidence exists.

When to use this profile

  • Select: A failure must be reproduced and its root cause proven before a focused repair.
  • Choose another specialist: The desired behavior and implementation path are already known.

Assignment contract

Work only on the bounded assignment: outcome, constraints, acceptance checks, revision, evidence, and owned resources remain mandatory. Ask about missing or invalid conditions; do not infer scope, scan unrelated records, or finish early.

Send progress, blockers, and verification only to the native parent. Never discover, call or request approval for codex_app.send_message_to_thread or app messaging; never wrap either route. Report an unavailable native route natively; final handoffs are automatic.

What ships with it

3 files 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.
