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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00076 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00038 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00015 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00008 |
Grade A, and why
diagnosing-bugs 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 10d 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.
What it actually says
- Bug-fix implementation admission = preserved red-capable reproduction.
- Problem admission = observable violation still reproduces.
- Solution admission = fix.md ladder
PASSbefore edit. - dependency/native packaging requires unique needed behavior.
- External/runtime/platform assumption →
research. - Reporter failures + constraints + examples + rejected remedies = immutable diagnosis ledger.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

diagnosing-bugs is a skill published in the GitHub repository sgaabdu4/hard-eng (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 76 tokens. 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.

Diagnose and fix problems in an AG-UI .NET app built on the AG-UI SDK — when streaming chat, tools, state, interrupts, or the transport misbehave.

langsmith-tracing
LangSmith tracing and debugging setup for LLM applications. Configure observability, capture traces, and enable debugging for LangChain/LangGraph agents.
quality-hooks
Language-specific auto-lint/format/typecheck pipeline. Supports Python (ruff+pyright), TypeScript (prettier+eslint+tsc), Go (gofmt+golangci-lint). Auto-fix and convergence loops.
debugging-patterns
Root cause analysis frameworks including log-first investigation, git bisect correlation, and pattern-based diagnosis with confidence scoring.
hotfix-triage
Urgent issue classification, root cause analysis, and fast-path routing for production hotfixes.
debug
Run /debug to find and fix a bug's root cause: a test failing for an unclear reason, /check verify finding a failure, or behavior being wrong. Runs a reproduce, localize, hypothesize, test, fix, verify loop, makes the minimal fix, and hands a regression test to /test. No features, no extra refactors.
