mastra: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/debugging-difficult-bugs/SKILL.md

debugging-difficult-bugs is a skill for Claude Code from mastra-ai/mastra. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,594 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A debugging method for medium or difficult software bugs, including failures involving runtime state, timing, saved data, streaming, concurrency, interfaces, or outside services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before extended test-driven development, or TDD, which means writing tests in small cycles while building code, when a bug depends on real runtime conditions.
Why use it?
A passing test may not reveal what actually fails while the program is running or during a manual reproduction.

This is mastra-ai/mastra's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mastra itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mastra configures →

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-difficult-bugs 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Changes

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.
