rb:constraint-debug

rb:constraint-debug is a skill for Claude Code from slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails. It costs 44 tokens per session (159 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debugger for database constraint failures such as duplicate values, missing required fields, and references to nonexistent records.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating unique-index, foreign-key, and NOT-NULL errors, including race conditions, transactions, locks, and migrations.
Why use it?
It compares application behavior with the database's actual rules, helping explain why a write was rejected.

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

rb:constraint-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

Constraint Debug

Check:

  • the actual database constraint or index definition
  • whether application validation matches database truth
  • whether the failing write should be wrapped in a transaction or lock
  • whether stale data or a bad migration introduced the mismatch

Files

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.

Changes

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.
