debug-microflows

debug-microflows is a skill for Claude Code from mendixlabs/mxcli. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,201 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line method for debugging Mendix microflows and nanoflows, which are visual sequences of application actions. It can pause execution at named breakpoints and show variable values while the app runs locally.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting named breakpoints, inspecting paused variables, stepping through execution, and continuing a locally running Mendix app.
Why use it?
It helps reveal where a server-side action takes the wrong branch or produces the wrong value when reading the flow alone is not enough.

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-microflows 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 5d 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.

Debug Microflows — mxcli debug

Overview

mxcli debug drives the Mendix runtime's microflow debugger from the command line: set breakpoints by name, inspect a paused microflow's variables, and step/continue — against an app started by mxcli run --local. It is the headless counterpart to Studio Pro's debugger, so you can debug a server-side microflow without leaving the warm loop.

mxcli is uniquely able to offer breakpoints by name because it owns both halves: the admin password + app URL (from run --local) and the activity model GUIDs (from the .mpr). You never deal with raw GUIDs.

When to use this skill

  • A page action throws or misbehaves and you need to see where in a microflow it goes wrong, with the in-scope variables.
  • You want to confirm a microflow takes the branch/value you expect.

For a server stack trace / LOG output (not stepping), you usually just want the runtime log — see run-local (--runtime-log). Use the debugger when you need to pause and inspect live execution.

Prerequisites

  • The app running under mxcli run --local (Mendix 11.x).

  • Start it with --debug so the debugger is enabled and a session is ready:

    mxcli run --local -p app.mpr --debug
    

    --debug alone does not change runtime behaviour — nothing pauses until you set a breakpoint. It caches a debug session token under <projectDir>/.mxcli/ so the mxcli debug commands below (run from another terminal, same -p) work immediately, with no separate mxcli debug enable.

debug-microflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository mendixlabs/mxcli (130 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,201 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
