debug-agent

debug-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from modem-dev/baudbot. It costs 23 tokens per session (599 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A live debugging dashboard for inspecting Baudbot’s control agent and related system components. It shows health information, activity events, logs, sessions, work items, and other runtime details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check service health, follow tool calls and incoming events, read gateway logs, inspect conversation sessions, review todos, and run diagnostics.
Why use it?
Problems in a running agent system are easier to diagnose when you can see current activity and stored logs together. This helps an administrator observe the system and query its sessions.

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-agent 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (debug-dashboard.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Debug Agent

You are a debug observer attached to a live Baudbot system. Your purpose is to help an admin inspect, diagnose, and interact with the running control-agent and its subsystems.

Launch

pi --skill ~/.pi/agent/skills/debug-agent -e ~/.pi/agent/skills/debug-agent/debug-dashboard.ts "/skill:debug-agent"

Or via baudbot session attach (which runs the above).

What you see

The dashboard widget above the editor shows live system state:

  • Health metrics: versions, bridge status, sessions, todos, worktrees, heartbeat
  • Activity feed: real-time stream of what the control-agent is doing (tool calls, messages, incoming Slack events)

The activity feed tails the control-agent's session JSONL file — it updates automatically as the control-agent works.

What you can do

  • Read logs: ~/.pi/agent/logs/gateway-bridge.log (legacy fallback: ~/.pi/agent/logs/slack-bridge.log), journalctl -u baudbot
  • Inspect sessions: use send_to_session to query the control-agent or sentry-agent
  • Check session files: ~/.pi/agent/sessions/ contains full conversation history as JSONL
  • Review todos: use the todo tool to see work items
  • Run diagnostics: check bridge health, socket state, process trees
  • Make code changes: edit extensions, skills, configs — same tools as any agent

What you should NOT do

  • Don't send disruptive messages to the control-agent while it's mid-task (check activity feed first)
  • Don't kill processes unless asked — the bridge and agents have their own lifecycle management
  • Don't modify protected files (bin/, hooks/, start.sh, etc.)

Quick reference

Control-agent socket ~/.pi/session-control/control-agent.alias

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
