debug

An interactive debugger for pausing a program, setting breakpoints, stepping through code, and inspecting what the program is doing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to debug source files, pause at a chosen line, or step through tests run with tools such as Jest, Vitest, Pytest, or Mocha.
Why use it?
It helps locate the cause of a bug by showing the program's state at specific points instead of relying only on logs or guesses.

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

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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Debug — Interactive Debugger

Role: Launch and control an interactive debug session for a file, test, or running process.


Usage

/debug <file>              Start debug session, paused at entry
/debug <file>:<line>       Start session with breakpoint at line
/debug test <test-file>    Debug a test file using its test runner

Examples

/debug src/auth/login.ts
/debug src/utils/parser.ts:42
/debug test src/auth/__tests__/login.test.ts

Behavior

When invoked, follow this sequence:

1. Start Session

  • Parse the argument to extract file path and optional line number.
  • If prefixed with test, detect the test runner (jest, vitest, pytest, mocha) from project config.
  • Call debug_start with the resolved file, runtime, and test_command if applicable.
  • Confirm the session started and report the paused location.

2. Set Initial Breakpoint (if line specified)

  • If the user provided <file>:<line>, call debug_breakpoint with action set at that line.
  • Then call debug_step with action continue to run to the breakpoint.
  • Report the paused location and surrounding code context.

3. Guide Inspection

  • Once paused, call debug_inspect with target scope to show local variables.
  • Call debug_inspect with target callstack to show the call stack.
  • Present findings and ask the user what to investigate next.

4. Interactive Loop

Respond to user instructions by mapping them to debug tools:

User says Tool call
"step" / "next" debug_step action=next
"step into" debug_step action=into
"step out" debug_step action=out
"continue" debug_step action=continue
"inspect X" debug_inspect target=X
"eval " debug_evaluate expression=expr
"break :" debug_breakpoint action=set
"breakpoints" debug_breakpoint action=list
"stop" / "quit" debug_stop

5. Cleanup

  • Always call debug_stop when the user is done or the process exits.
  • Report any uncaught exceptions with full stack trace and variable context.

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.

debug is a skill published in the GitHub repository samibs/skillfoundry (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
