A writing tool that organizes software troubleshooting as symptom, cause, and fix. Troubleshooting means finding why a tool or system behaves incorrectly and deciding how to correct it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating runbooks and support documentation for software tools, APIs, systems, incidents, error messages, and recurring operational issues.
Why use it?
It gives developers or support staff a consistent way to resolve known problems without guessing or searching through source code.

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

Troubleshooting Guide Builder 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 9d 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.

Troubleshooting Guide Builder

What this skill does

This skill builds a structured troubleshooting guide that maps symptoms to causes to fixes for any software tool, API, or system. Each entry follows a consistent format: what the user experiences, why it happens, and exactly how to fix it — including specific commands, configuration changes, or code snippets. The result is a guide that developers or support staff can scan quickly to resolve issues without digging through source code or guessing.

Use this when writing documentation for a new tool, after an incident reveals a common failure mode, when your support team keeps answering the same questions, or when preparing runbooks for operational issues.

How to use

Claude Code / Cline

Copy this file to .agents/skills/troubleshooting-guide-builder/SKILL.md in your project root.

Then ask:

  • "Use the Troubleshooting Guide Builder skill to write a troubleshooting guide for our CLI tool."
  • "Build a troubleshooting guide for the most common deployment errors using the Troubleshooting Guide Builder skill."

Provide:

  • A description of the tool, API, or system
  • A list of known issues, error messages, or symptoms (ideally from real support cases)
  • Any relevant error codes, configuration options, or environment details

Cursor

Add the instructions below to your .cursorrules or paste them into the Cursor AI pane. Provide the tool description and known issues.

Codex

Paste the tool description, error messages, and any existing support notes. Ask Codex to follow the instructions below.

The Prompt / Instructions for the Agent

When asked to build a troubleshooting guide, follow these steps:

Step 1 — Gather known issues

If given a list of symptoms or errors, use them as the basis. If not, generate a comprehensive list of likely issues by thinking through:

  • Installation and setup failures
  • Authentication and permissions errors
  • Configuration mistakes
  • Rate limits and quota errors
  • Network and connectivity issues
  • Common misunderstandings about how the tool works
  • Environment-specific issues (OS, version, dependencies)
  • Data format or validation errors
