power-debug

power-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pwdev-solucoes/pwdev-claude-marketplace. It costs 20 tokens per session (718 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A debugging workflow that investigates the root cause of a bug, failed test, or unexpected behavior before any fix is proposed. It uses the full error, reproduction steps, recent changes, and system boundaries as evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate errors, reproduce failures, inspect recent changes, and trace problems across multiple components.
Why use it?
It prevents symptom-based fixes that appear to work but leave the real defect in place. Requiring a reproducible explanation makes the eventual fix easier to trust and maintain.

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

power-debug 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 5d 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.

Find the Root Cause First

The iron law

No fix without root cause investigation first.

A fix applied to a symptom you have not explained is a guess. Guesses that happen to work are worse than guesses that fail, because they hide the real defect until it returns somewhere more expensive.

Phase 0 — Has this already been documented?

If .planning/power/context/pitfalls.md exists, read it before anything else. It is where previously observed failure modes were recorded with evidence, and the cheapest possible investigation is discovering that someone already did it.

A match there is a lead, not a verdict: confirm it against the current failure before acting on it.

Phase 1 — Root cause

  1. Read the entire error. All of it — the message, the type, every frame of the stack, the lines before it. The answer is in there more often than not.
  2. Reproduce it consistently. An intermittent failure you cannot trigger is not yet understood. Find the condition that makes it deterministic.
  3. Check what changed recently. git log, git diff. Most breakage is recent.
  4. In a multi-component system, instrument every boundary before proposing anything. Add logging at each hand-off — caller, transport, handler, storage — and run once to learn where it breaks. Guessing which layer is wrong and fixing that layer is how three fixes go by without touching the defect.
  5. Trace the data backwards from where it is wrong to where it was right. The bug is between those two points.

Phase 2 — Pattern analysis

Find something in this same codebase that works and does the same kind of thing. Read it completely — not a skim, not the parts you expect to matter. List every difference between it and the broken path, including the ones that look irrelevant. The irrelevant-looking one is frequently the answer.

Phase 3 — One hypothesis at a time

Write it down: "I think X is the cause, because Y." Design the smallest test that would prove it wrong. Change one variable.

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.
