debugging-protocol

A structured method for diagnosing broken software behavior and preventing the same problem from returning.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating missing or malfunctioning behavior and checking fixes after earlier attempts have failed.
Why use it?
It helps trace failures to their underlying cause, including mismatches between the data a program expects and receives.

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-protocol scanned grade A 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 yesterday.

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.

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-protocol is a skill published in the GitHub repository joryeugene/tripod (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,013 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

neohaskell-security-design-review

Design-time security review of an approved contract-delta spec, before implementation. Runs when the spec's touches list intersects security-sensitive capabilities.
