winkit-developer-debugging

winkit-developer-debugging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KiritoBloom/WinKit. It costs 75 tokens per session (2,003 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Read-only instructions for diagnosing local development problems on Windows computers through WinKit. They cover ports, processes, HTTP responses, event logs, services, storage, hardware, and workspace state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a port is already in use, localhost does not respond, an app returns an HTTP 5xx error, tests hang, the machine is slow, storage is full, or Windows reports a crash.
Why use it?
They help identify why a local app or development setup is failing without guessing or running commands that change the computer. WinKit does not write files, stop processes, or inspect credentials.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Good fit Use it when a port is already in use, localhost does not respond, an app returns an HTTP 5xx error, tests hang, the machine is slow, storage is full, or Windows reports a crash.

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

winkit-developer-debugging 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.

WinKit Developer Debugging

WinKit is a local, read-only MCP server for Windows that answers why is my dev setup broken without guessing. From inside the agent loop you can probe ports, processes, HTTP, event logs, services, drives, hardware, and workspace state — all bounded and redacted.

This skill is a routing guide: when to call which WinKit tool and how to chain them. Tool schemas live on the server; this file tells you the playbook.

WinKit never runs shell commands, writes files, or reads credentials. Every tool is a read. Windows x64 only.

When to use

  • User says: "port in use", "EADDRINUSE", "localhost:3000 not working", "connection refused", "HTTP 500", "machine slow", "tests hanging", "disk full", "what crashed", "BSOD", "is the dev server related to my workspace?"
  • You need to answer about local processes, ports, drives, services, event logs, drivers, updates, startup programs, or hardware on Windows.

When NOT to use

  • Host is not Windows x64 → explain WinKit is Windows-only.
  • Request needs arbitrary shell execution, file writes/deletes, process kills, or credential inspection → refuse plainly and offer the read-only WinKit path.
  • Non-local or production debugging → WinKit is local-first only.

Quick Start

npx --yes @winkit/mcp@latest doctor          # 0 = all checks PASS
npx --yes @winkit/mcp@latest install --yes   # MCP + skill, with .bak backup

Then in the agent:

diagnose_local_webapp {url:"http://localhost:3000"}
find_process_on_port {port:3000}

doctor must pass before you trust tool output. See profiles-and-permissions if a tool says "disabled".

Routing table

Default path for "app broken": diagnose_workspace → diagnose_local_webapp → correlate_recent_failures.

User says / you observe Primary tool(s)
"My local app is broken" diagnose_local_webapp → diagnose_workspace → correlate_recent_failures
"Port is already in use" find_process_on_port / list_listening_ports → get_process
"Server returns 500/4xx" diagnose_local_webapp → get_application_errors → correlate_recent_failures
"Machine is slow" system_health → system_health_trend → get_process / get_process_tree
"Tests are hanging" wait_for_port / wait_for_http + list_processes + system_health
"Is this dev server related to my workspace?" list_dev_servers → diagnose_workspace → workspace_snapshot
"Where is the project / what runs it?" workspace_snapshot → dev_environment
"Disk is full" list_drives → disk_usage → directory_overview (recursive size per child, largest first)
"Find/read a file or log" find_files → read_text_file (mode="tail" for log ends)
"Why won't my tool start?" audit_path_env → dev_environment
"Is my disk dying?" disk_health (S.M.A.R.T.) + disk_performance
"Something crashed" crash_history / shutdown_analysis or get_recent_events
"Why did it reboot?" shutdown_analysis → crash_history + system_update_status (update reboots)
"What starts with my PC?" startup_programs
"What did WinKit touch?" privacy_info

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.
