nodetool: Skill for Claude Code

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

diagnosing-bugs is a skill for Claude Code from nodetool-ai/nodetool. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,985 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A structured process for finding the cause of difficult bugs and slowdowns. It guides investigation from the reported symptom through evidence, testing, and a confirmed explanation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate broken, failing, error-producing, or unexpectedly slow software.
Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing at fixes when software fails, throws errors, or becomes slow. The process focuses on identifying the underlying cause, including performance regressions.

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 9d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

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** (paste the invocation and its output),

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.
