systematic-debugging

systematic-debugging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sistema2D/FrameCode-VibeWork. It costs 42 tokens per session (481 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting method that uses observed facts and testable explanations to find the cause of a software failure before changing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reproducible bugs, crashes, failed checks, unexpected behavior, or inconsistent runtime states.
Why use it?
It helps separate confirmed causes from guesses and avoids applying fixes that only hide symptoms.

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

systematic-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 18d 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.

Systematic debugging

Purpose

Find the smallest evidence-supported cause of a failure and distinguish diagnosis from implementation authorization.

Use conditions

Use for reproducible defects, crashes, failed checks, unexpected behavior, or inconsistent runtime state. For a question limited to diagnosis, do not apply a fix. For an authorized fix, follow the active plan and changelog contract.

Non-responsibilities

  • unrelated refactoring or speculative cleanup;
  • suppressing symptoms without explaining the cause;
  • publishing secrets, credentials, or unnecessary raw logs;
  • treating an unverified hypothesis as a finding.

Inputs

Expected behavior, observed behavior, environment, reproduction steps, logs or stack traces, recent changes, and the narrowest relevant source and test files.

Procedure

  1. Reproduce the problem or state why reproduction is currently impossible.
  2. Capture the exact symptom, environment, and smallest failing case.
  3. Form one ranked hypothesis tied to concrete evidence.
  4. Design a check that can disprove that hypothesis.
  5. Run the check and update the hypothesis from the result.
  6. Repeat until the cause is supported or the investigation is explicitly inconclusive.
  7. If a fix is authorized, add or identify a regression check, apply the minimal change, remove temporary instrumentation, and rerun affected validation.
  8. Promote durable incident learning to a troubleshooting record when recurrence, severity, or operational value justifies it.

Required output

Symptom, reproduction status, evidence, tested hypotheses, supported root cause or remaining uncertainty, affected scope, and validation results. If code changed, link the active plan and changelog entry.

Validation

The original failure is reproduced before the fix when feasible, the causal check changes as predicted, the regression check passes afterward, and unrelated validation has not regressed.

Exit criteria

Exit when the cause is supported and the authorized fix is validated, or when the remaining blocker and next evidence needed are recorded without presenting speculation as resolution.

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.

systematic-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sistema2D/FrameCode-VibeWork (29 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 481 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
