hindsight-debug

hindsight-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShayManor/Hindsight. It costs 54 tokens per session (381 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A debugging skill that searches a shared collection of previously reported fixes for difficult, environment-dependent errors. It can compare the error and environment with past attempts and record whether a suggested fix worked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cryptic build errors, CUDA or compiler mismatches, and distributed-training crashes after recording what you tried.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when build failures or toolchain errors are too unusual to solve from memory.

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

hindsight-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 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.

What it actually says

Debugging with Hindsight

When an error resists your parametric knowledge, query the shared corpus before guessing.

  1. Search. Call search_error with:
    • trace: the full stack trace / multi-line error, verbatim.
    • message: the headline error (e.g. ImportError: undefined symbol).
    • attempt_summary: one sentence on what you were doing ("Tried to build flash-attention 2.3.6 on Ubuntu 22.04 with torch 2.1 + CUDA 12.1").
    • env: {cuda, os, arch, packages} when known — this conditions and ranks results.
  2. Read the top results. Each carries why (matched frames, env match, and attempts/successes/success_rate) plus source attribution. Prefer solutions with a higher success_rate.
  3. Get the full record. Call get_solution(id) for the chosen result — it includes solution_body, solution_code, and the exact repro_script.
  4. Try the fix.
  5. Always report back. Call report_attempt(id, worked) with worked=true or worked=false. Failures are the most valuable signal — they tell the commons which popular fixes do not actually work. Add notes explaining what differed.

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.
