systematic-debug

systematic-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from modimihir07/agentic-os. It costs 11 tokens per session (248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A four-step method for finding and fixing software bugs: reproduce the problem, investigate its cause, apply a fix, and verify the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate errors, crashes, unexplained behavior, and performance slowdowns, then record the cause, fix, and verification results.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork and helps prevent fixes that only hide the symptoms or create new problems.

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

systematic-debug 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.

What it actually says

Systematic Debugging

Description

Four-phase debugging methodology: reproduce, investigate, fix, verify. Prevents guesswork and ensures root cause is found before any fix is applied.

When to Use

  • Encountering a bug or error
  • System failure or crash
  • Unexplained behavior
  • Performance regression

Process

  1. Reproduce: Capture exact steps, environment, and error output
  2. Investigate: Trace root cause through logs, stack traces, and code analysis
  3. Fix: Apply minimal fix addressing root cause (not symptoms)
  4. Verify: Confirm fix resolves the issue and doesn't introduce regressions
  5. Update learnings.md with debugging insights

Safety

  • If 3 fix attempts fail, trigger architectural review
  • Never apply workaround without understanding root cause

Output

Debug report: symptoms, root cause, fix applied, verification results

Agent Assignment

  • Primary: opencode
Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
