diagnosing-bugs

diagnosing-bugs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MoonTzai/folderbridge-mcp. It costs 25 tokens per session (248 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A bug-diagnosis process built around reproducing the user-visible failure, reducing it to a small case, and testing ranked explanations. A regression test is a test that prevents the same bug from returning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating difficult bugs, creating minimal reproductions, choosing diagnostic checks, applying the smallest justified fix, and verifying it with focused and full test suites.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a repeatable failing signal and targeted experiments. This helps separate the actual cause from nearby symptoms or misleading code clues.

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 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

Diagnosing Bugs — FolderBridge Adaptation

For a hard bug, the first deliverable is a tight feedback loop that goes red on the user's actual symptom. Prefer a deterministic failing unit/integration/e2e test; otherwise use a minimal CLI harness, replay, differential check, or repeated stress loop. Do not build a theory from code reading before you can reproduce the failure.

Minimize the repro until unrelated variables are removed. Then generate several ranked, falsifiable hypotheses. Each hypothesis must predict what one targeted probe or controlled change would do. Instrument only at boundaries that distinguish those hypotheses; change one variable at a time.

Fix the smallest cause that explains the red signal, not nearby symptoms. Run the original repro first, then the relevant local tests, then the full regression suite. Keep a regression test that would have failed before the fix.

If the bug cannot be locked down because there is no stable test seam, treat that as an architecture finding and hand the seam problem to codebase-design / improve-codebase-architecture rather than hiding it with more logging or duplicated checks.

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.

diagnosing-bugs is a skill published in the GitHub repository MoonTzai/folderbridge-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 248 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
