everything-dev: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/diagnosing-bugs/SKILL.md

diagnosing-bugs is a skill for Codex from NEARBuilders/everything-dev. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A structured process for investigating difficult bugs and slowdowns. It is used when software is broken, throws errors, fails, or becomes slow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose errors, failing behavior, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and performance regressions.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to find the cause instead of guessing at fixes. This is useful when a problem is hard to reproduce or may be a performance regression, meaning a change made the software slower.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is NEARBuilders/everything-dev's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on everything-dev itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything everything-dev configures →

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 1 finding 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 (scripts/hitl-loop.template.sh), 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Phase 1 is done when the loop is **tight** and **red-capable**: you can name **one command** (a script path, a test invocation, a curl) that you have **already run at least once** (show the invocation and its output, red

What ships with it

2 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.
