debug-orchestrator

debug-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from jpoutrin/product-forge. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for investigating difficult bugs that may involve several parts of an application, such as the user interface, API, database, or network. It assigns different parts of the investigation to specialised debugging agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split a multi-layer debugging problem into focused investigations and combine their findings.
Why use it?
It helps organise complex bug investigations when the cause is unclear or crosses technical boundaries.

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-orchestrator 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.

Debug Orchestrator

Coordinate complex debugging investigations by spawning and managing specialized debug expert agents. Use this when a debugging issue spans multiple domains or requires deep expertise in specific areas.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • Debugging issue involves multiple layers (UI, API, database, network)
  • Root cause is unclear and requires systematic investigation
  • Issue requires domain-specific expertise (e.g., React performance, SQL query optimization, network protocol analysis)
  • Multiple hypotheses need to be tested in parallel
  • Previous debugging attempts have failed or been incomplete

Do NOT Use For

  • Simple, single-domain bugs (use direct debugging instead)
  • Issues with obvious root causes
  • Syntax errors or compilation failures
  • Basic troubleshooting that doesn't require expert coordination

Orchestration Strategy

1. Issue Analysis

First, analyze the debugging request to understand:

  • Symptoms: What's broken or behaving incorrectly?
  • Context: What was the user doing when the issue occurred?
  • Scope: Which systems/layers are potentially affected?
  • Evidence: Logs, error messages, screenshots, network traces

2. Expert Agent Selection

Based on the analysis, spawn appropriate specialist agents:

Available Debug Experts
Agent Type When to Use Example Issues
product-design:web-debugger Browser-based issues, DOM manipulation, JavaScript errors React component not rendering, event handlers failing, XHR errors
product-design:console-debugging JavaScript runtime errors, console warnings, client-side logs Uncaught exceptions, deprecation warnings, third-party library errors
product-design:network-inspection API calls, HTTP requests, network failures 404 errors, CORS issues, slow API responses, failed requests
python-experts:django-expert Django-specific backend issues ORM queries, middleware errors, view logic, template rendering
python-experts:fastapi-expert FastAPI async issues, request validation Async handler errors, Pydantic validation, dependency injection
devops-data:cto-architect System design issues, architecture decisions Distributed system failures, scaling issues, design flaws
security-compliance:mcp-security-expert Security-related bugs, authentication issues Auth failures, permission errors, input validation bypasses

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.
