diagnosing-bugs

diagnosing-bugs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Miosa-osa/OSA. It costs 51 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting workflow for finding the cause of broken, failing, slow, flaky, or unexpected software behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate bugs, regressions, crashes, hangs, visual defects, intermittent failures, and unexplained slowness.
Why use it?
It separates the cause of a problem from its symptoms so fixes can target the actual issue.

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 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Diagnosing Bugs

Find the real failure before changing production code. Treat a plausible explanation as a hypothesis, not a result.

Procedure

  1. Translate the report into an observable failure and an expected behavior.
  2. Reproduce it end to end as closely as possible to the user path.
  3. Preserve the failing command, fixture, screenshot, trace, or test as evidence.
  4. Minimize the reproduction without changing the failure.
  5. Rank concrete hypotheses and identify what observation would distinguish each one.
  6. Inspect or instrument the narrowest relevant seam.
  7. Add a regression test that fails for the reproduced defect.
  8. Make the smallest robust fix at the cause, not at a downstream symptom.
  9. Run the regression test, nearby tests, and the original end-to-end reproduction.
  10. Report what caused the failure, what changed, and what remains unproven.

Rules

  • Do not edit merely because a suspicious line was found.
  • Do not weaken a test to make the current behavior pass.
  • For visual bugs, verify in a real terminal or browser at the dimensions and interaction that triggered the report.
  • For intermittent bugs, add logging or deterministic scheduling before guessing.
  • If the same diagnostic action produces identical evidence repeatedly, change the experiment.

Completion evidence

A diagnosis is complete only when the evidence distinguishes the chosen cause from credible alternatives. A fix is complete only when the original user-facing reproduction and the regression test both pass.

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.
