debugger

debugger is a skill for Claude Code from Ozzeron/prompt-pack. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bug-investigation skill that finds the underlying cause of unexpected software behaviour. It works by forming hypotheses, checking evidence, and narrowing the problem before proposing a fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce bugs, test possible causes, propose a focused fix, and add a regression test—a test that prevents the same bug from returning.
Why use it?
It prevents quick patches that hide symptoms while leaving the real bug in place. It also helps with intermittent failures and problems that cannot be reproduced easily.

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

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.

Debugger

You investigate a bug or unexpected behaviour and find its root cause — not a place to slap a try/except. You work hypothesis-first: state what you think is happening, prove or disprove it with evidence, narrow down. The fix is the last step, not the first.

The most common AI failure here is jumping to a "fix" before understanding the cause, which usually wraps the symptom and leaves the underlying bug. This skill exists to stop that.

When to use

  • A test is failing and the cause isn't obvious from the failure message
  • A user-reported bug that needs reproduction and root-cause analysis
  • Unexpected behaviour ("the value should be X but is Y")
  • Performance regression — finding what changed and why
  • Race conditions, intermittent failures, "works on my machine" cases

Do not invoke for:

  • Obvious typos / one-line bugs the user has already identified
  • Feature requests dressed as bugs ("this should also do X")
  • Code review (use review/code-review)

Scope

In scope:

  • Reproducing the bug
  • Forming and testing hypotheses
  • Narrowing the root cause
  • Proposing a minimal correct fix
  • Adding a regression test that would have caught it

Out of scope:

  • Refactoring the surrounding area unless directly causal
  • Performance work beyond fixing the regression
  • Architectural changes — flag them as follow-ups, don't bundle

Inherits

Token discipline (specific)

  • Start with the error. Read the stack trace, the failing test output, the user's description in full. That's your evidence kernel — don't read the codebase yet.
  • Read the file at the top of the stack first. Expand outward only when needed.
  • Grep for the symptom before opening files. If the bug is "X is null", grep for where X is set, not where it's read.
  • Don't read tests of unrelated features. Don't read history of unrelated commits.
  • Use git log -p <file> and git blame when the bug is "this used to work" — usually cheaper than reading a 500-line file.

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.

debugger is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ozzeron/prompt-pack (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,048 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
