debugging

debugging is a skill for Kiro from ihatesea69/kiro-kit. It costs 27 tokens per session (240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step method for finding the underlying cause of bugs, crashes, failed tests, and unexpected behavior before changing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate error messages, logs, stack traces, performance problems, build failures, and regressions caused by recent changes.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork by requiring the problem to be reproduced, investigated with evidence, tested against a likely cause, and checked after the fix.

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 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/find-polluter.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Debugging

Activate this skill when encountering bugs, test failures, or unexpected behavior.

When to Use

  • Tests are failing unexpectedly
  • Runtime errors or crashes occur
  • Behavior does not match expectations
  • Performance degrades without obvious cause
  • Build or compilation errors appear

Process

  1. Reproduce the issue consistently
  2. Gather evidence (error messages, stack traces, logs)
  3. Form hypothesis about root cause
  4. Trace backward from the symptom to the source
  5. Validate hypothesis with targeted tests
  6. Apply minimal fix addressing root cause
  7. Verify fix resolves the issue without regressions

Rules

  • Never apply random fixes without understanding the cause
  • Measure and trace before changing code
  • If a fix attempt fails twice, step back and reconsider the hypothesis
  • Check recent changes (git log) as first investigation step
  • Isolate the problem to the smallest reproducible case
Files

What ships with it

6 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.

debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihatesea69/kiro-kit (18 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 240 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
