Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00041 | $0.02270 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01135 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00454 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00227 |
Grade A, and why
debugging 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.

Debugging
This skill equips an AI agent with a systematic methodology for diagnosing and resolving software bugs. Rather than guessing at fixes, the agent follows a structured process — reproduce, isolate, diagnose, fix, verify — to find root causes and produce reliable corrections. It handles a wide range of bug categories including logic errors, runtime exceptions, race conditions, memory leaks, and performance regressions across multiple languages and runtime environments.
Workflow
-
Reproduce the problem. Confirm the bug is observable and repeatable. Gather the exact error message, stack trace, log output, or description of unexpected behavior. Identify the minimum input or sequence of steps that triggers the issue. If the bug is intermittent, note the frequency and any environmental conditions (load, timing, specific data) that correlate with its appearance.
-
Isolate the fault location. Use the stack trace, error message, and code structure to narrow down the region of code responsible. Trace data flow backward from the point of failure to find where the value diverged from expectations. Eliminate unrelated code paths by checking whether the bug persists when components are stubbed out or bypassed. For large codebases, use binary search strategies — disable half the system, check if the bug still occurs, and repeat.
-
Diagnose the root cause. Once the faulty region is identified, determine exactly why the code misbehaves. Common root causes include: incorrect assumptions about input (null, empty, out-of-range), state mutation from a concurrent thread, stale cache or memoized value, incorrect operator precedence, missing await on an async call, or a dependency version incompatibility. Distinguish the root cause from its symptoms — a NullPointerException is a symptom; the root cause may be a missing validation three function calls earlier.
-
Develop and apply the fix. Write the smallest change that addresses the root cause without introducing side effects. If the fix involves changing a shared interface, trace all callers to ensure compatibility. Prefer defensive fixes that handle the error class broadly (e.g., adding input validation) over narrow patches that only address the single observed failure.
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.

debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills (176 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,270 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
