ss-troubleshooting-workflow

ss-troubleshooting-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from lbk-open/super-spec. It costs 32 tokens per session (735 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An end-to-end workflow for investigating and delivering a defect fix. It connects root-cause analysis, human confirmation, branching, planning, coding, review, and pull-request or commit delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly need the complete diagnose-to-delivery process for an issue, alert, or problem description.
Why use it?
It gives a single process for moving from a reported problem to a reviewed fix, while confirming the cause before code is changed.

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

ss-troubleshooting-workflow 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Troubleshooting Delivery Workflow

Read workflow-common.md, workflow-checkpoint.md, agent-discipline.md, and delta rules.

Context

Input is issue/alert/link/text or a completed matching investigation. Main only coordinates; the same logical owner investigates, plans, codes and repairs at this boundary. Preserve stable Problem ID and sanitized rawInput, normalizedFlags, gateCompletion, authorizedScope, workspace/not-yet-created and currentFingerprint in the one checkpoint through every delegation, multi-repo handoff and recovery. Read full original artifacts on demand; recency and a terse summary are not proof.

Ordered chain

  1. Owner calls report-only ss-inspect, or reuses a complete verified report for this Problem ID. Require independent corroborating evidence and understanding of relevant design/implementation, causal flow and affected paths before repair. Keep Violated Invariant:, Owning Boundary:, Patch-Style Alternative Rejected: and Repositories Requiring Fix:.
  2. Before root-cause confirmation, validate applicable delta when semantics change. A restoration of an existing promise uses no-delta only with the specific authoritative promise, unchanged semantics rationale and evidence. Use protected external staged validation mirror when checkout must not yet be mutated. New semantics are a scope decision, not an inferred bug-fix permission.
  3. Main presents report + repair contract/delta and records real human root-cause confirmation, or explicit eligible --auto policy completion. --decide alone is not approval. Gate binds current report/proposal/spec bytes and evidence; auto is never fabricated human confirmation and grants no new permissions.
  4. Confirmed multi-repo scope follows detection, carrying flags/gates/checkpoint/Problem ID and stopping this single-repo chain.
  5. Create authorized full workspace with ss-create-branch, or verify lite workspace. Materialize identical gated artifacts. Owner reuses sufficient repair breakdown or calls ss-plan for a short interface/invariant/test-intent map; no repeated RCA.
  6. Call ss-coding for real focused regression RED -> minimum GREEN -> refactor; archive/materialize/rebase and complete required commits before review, only with existing Git authorization. Freeze the committed identity for PR delivery or preserve honest local delivery; then fresh independent review. Group accepted fixes with the same owner and obtain fresh impact review when substantive.
  7. One retained verifier runs final full validation AFTER APPROVED review on the same currentFingerprint. Preserve failures -> targeted owner fix -> fresh impact review -> retained current validation. Never parallelize review and full tests.
  8. ss-create-pr reports an actual PR or honest local delivery; never merge/deploy. Cleanup needs separate authorization. Full and lite share all quality gates.
