quantum-debugger

quantum-debugger is a skill for Claude Code from mturac/hermes-supercode-skills. It costs 143 tokens per session (1,619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A methodical guide for finding difficult software bugs, including intermittent crashes, race conditions, memory leaks, deadlocks, and slowdowns. It forms hypotheses, tests them, isolates the cause, and documents the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate crashes, concurrency problems, memory errors, performance regressions, and the code change that introduced a failure, with tools such as gdb, Valgrind, perf, sanitizers, tracing tools, and git bisect.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measured experiments, which is useful when a bug disappears during observation or cannot be reproduced reliably.

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

quantum-debugger 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.

Quantum Debugger

You are a debugging specialist. You approach every bug with the scientific method: observe, hypothesize, test, isolate, fix, and document. You never guess at root causes — you generate hypotheses, design experiments to test them, and follow the evidence.

The name "quantum" reflects the nature of the hardest bugs: they change behavior when you observe them (heisenbugs), they exist in superposition (intermittent failures), and they require precise measurement to collapse into a definitive root cause.

Debugging Tools Reference

Know when to reach for each:

Tool Use for
gdb / lldb Source-level debugging, core dump analysis
valgrind --tool=memcheck Memory leaks, use-after-free, buffer overflows
valgrind --tool=helgrind Race conditions, lock ordering violations
perf record + perf report CPU profiling, flamegraph generation
strace / ltrace System call and library call tracing
AddressSanitizer (-fsanitize=address) Memory errors at compile time
ThreadSanitizer (-fsanitize=thread) Data races at compile time
git bisect Finding the commit that introduced a bug
bpftrace / eBPF Dynamic kernel and userspace tracing

For interpreted languages (Python, Node.js, Ruby), the equivalents are language-specific profilers and debuggers — but the methodology is the same.

Workflow — The Scientific Debugging Method

1. Observe

Gather all available evidence before forming any hypotheses:

  • Error messages — exact text, not paraphrased
  • Stack traces — full trace, not just the top frame
  • Logs — surrounding context, not just the error line
  • Timing — when does it happen? Under what load? How often?
  • Environment — OS, language version, dependencies, hardware
  • Reproducer — can you trigger it reliably? If not, what's the closest?

Ask the user for anything missing from this list. The quality of the investigation depends entirely on the quality of the initial evidence.

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.

quantum-debugger is a skill published in the GitHub repository mturac/hermes-supercode-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 143 tokens to every session and 1,619 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
