diagnosing-bugs

diagnosing-bugs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maurigre/mgr-method. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,804 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A structured method for finding the root cause of difficult bugs and slowdowns. It requires reproducing the problem and showing a failing result before forming a theory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce software bugs, investigate performance regressions, test hypotheses against observed behavior, and identify the underlying cause.
Why use it?
It prevents debugging from becoming guesswork based on untested explanations. It focuses the work on identifying the cause and stops before making a larger fix.

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

diagnosing-bugs 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.

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.

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.
