debug

A debugging workflow for investigating bugs, failed tests, and unexpected behavior by finding the root cause before suggesting a fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine one possible cause at a time, then move into an in-place fix or a written plan.
Why use it?
It helps prevent guesswork and avoids applying fixes that only hide the visible symptom.

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 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 3d 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 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.

debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository jasonrr/herdr-tally (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 525 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.

crabbox

Detect and use Crabbox for repository tests and validation on remote runners. Use when crabbox.yaml or .crabbox.yaml exists, the crabbox CLI is available, or work needs remote compute, a clean or reusable environment, target-platform coverage, or auditable execution evidence.

dagr-producer

Emit and maintain a dagr run file — a live, contract-valid JSON description of recursive projects, tasks, attempts, gates, evidence, policies, events, and operator-message resolutions that dagr view renders as a DAG. Use when orchestrating agents or tracking multi-step work that a dagr pane should display.

feature-worktree

Before implementing a new feature, isolate it in its own git worktree (own folder + branch) AND its own Herdr pane so parallel sessions never share a checkout or a terminal. Use whenever the user asks to implement, build, add, or work on a new feature, view, panel, or other sizable change to either plugin. Skip for…
