debug

debug is a skill for Claude Code from markmhendrickson/ateles. It costs 8 tokens per session (6,800 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of debug, MIT.

A debugging workflow that checks for pending error reports and helps resolve them. It can inspect the current repository or a named sibling repository, and it can manage an automated error-watching process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /debug to inspect pending errors, name another repository to check it, or use start, stop, status, logs, and restart to manage the watcher.
Why use it?
It provides one entry point for finding unresolved errors instead of checking repositories and watcher processes separately.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/user/Projects/non-existent-repo.

Good fit Use /debug to inspect pending errors, name another repository to check it, or use start, stop, status, logs, and restart to manage the watcher.

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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 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 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.

Debug Command

Purpose

Check for pending error reports and debug/resolve them. Supports cross-repo error queue checking for sibling repositories. Also manages the error debugging automation watcher.

Command Usage

/debug [action|target-repo-name]

Modes of Operation:

The command operates in two modes based on the first argument:

1. Watcher Management Mode

If the first argument is a watcher management action (start, stop, status, logs, restart), manage the error debugging automation watcher:

/debug start      # Start the error debugging watcher
/debug stop       # Stop the running watcher
/debug status     # Check watcher status
/debug logs       # Show watcher logs
/debug restart    # Restart the watcher

2. Error Debugging Mode (Default)

If the first argument is not a watcher action (or no arguments provided), check and debug pending errors:

/debug                    # Check current repo's pending errors (default)
/debug neotoma            # Check sibling repo's pending errors
/debug personal-project   # Check another sibling repo

Note: To check watcher status, use /debug status. The default behavior (no arguments) checks for pending errors in the current repository.

Parameters:

  • action (optional): Watcher management action (start, stop, status, logs, restart)
    • If provided, manages the error debugging automation watcher
    • If omitted: Defaults to error debugging mode (check pending errors)
  • target-repo-name (optional): Name of sibling repository to check for pending errors
    • Must be a sibling repository (shares same parent directory)
    • Only used if first argument is not a watcher action

Examples:

# Watcher management
/debug start      # Start watcher
/debug status     # Check watcher status
/debug logs        # View watcher logs
/debug stop        # Stop watcher

# Error debugging
/debug                    # Check current repo's pending errors
/debug neotoma            # Check sibling repo's pending errors
/debug --list-only       # List errors without debugging
/debug --all --auto      # Process all errors automatically

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.
