debug-helper

debug-helper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from inbharatai/claude-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (392 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding and fixing software bugs, which are problems that make a program behave incorrectly. It covers error analysis, reading stack traces, identifying root causes, and suggesting fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect errors and stack traces, trace failures to their source, and plan or apply bug fixes.
Why use it?
It helps move from a symptom or error message to the underlying cause. This gives developers a structured way to investigate and choose a correction.

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-helper 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Debug Helper

Overview

Diagnose and fix bugs systematically — error analysis, stack trace interpretation, root cause identification, and fix suggestions.

When to Use This Skill

Use Debug Helper when you need to:

  • Work with debug helper tasks in your project or workflow
  • Automate debug helper operations at scale
  • Generate production-quality debug helper output quickly

Instructions

When this skill is active, Claude will:

  1. Understand the full context of your debug helper request
  2. Apply best practices and conventions for Development
  3. Produce clean, well-structured, production-ready output
  4. Explain key decisions and offer alternatives where relevant

Examples

Example 1 — Basic Usage

User: Help me get started with debug helper.

Claude: I'll walk you through the essential steps for debug helper in your context...

Example 2 — Advanced Usage

User: I need a production-ready debug helper setup with full error handling.

Claude: Here's a complete, production-hardened debug helper implementation...

Guidelines

  • Always validate inputs before processing
  • Follow the conventions of the target platform or language
  • Prefer explicit over implicit — clarity beats cleverness
  • Include comments for non-obvious logic
  • Suggest tests or validation steps where appropriate

Dependencies

Required: none

Platforms

Available on: claude.ai, claude-code, api

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.
