instantcms-debug

instantcms-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from instantcms-dev/instantcms-mcp. It costs 31 tokens per session (148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for InstantCMS addons, which are extensions for the InstantCMS content-management system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate installation problems, broken hooks, routes, templates, forms, database behavior, and runtime regressions.
Why use it?
It provides a way to narrow an addon failure to its actual cause instead of confusing the main error with later symptoms.

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

instantcms-debug 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 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.

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

InstantCMS debug

Reproduce the smallest failing path and collect the exact error, request route, relevant files, InstantCMS version, and database state. Use explain_instantcms_project before loading unrelated files.

Run audit_instantcms_project, then inspect the specific hook, component API, route, or table implicated by evidence. Separate the root cause from secondary symptoms and do not modify code unless a fix was requested.

For fixes, use plan_project_changes, return a reviewable patch, and re-run the original reproduction plus validation.

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

Use this skill when something is broken and the cause is unknown — a failing test, a crash, an error message, wrong output, a regression, a hang, or behaviour that differs between environments — and it has to be found and fixed at the root.
