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 | $0.00012 | $0.00483 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00193 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00097 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
debug-loop 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to debug-loop — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Debug Loop
Autonomous hypothesis-driven debugging against real data. No guessing, no simulating.
Arguments
<symptom>— Description of the bug or unexpected behavior. If omitted, prompt the user.
Phases
Phase 1 — Reproduce
Run the exact command that shows the bug. Capture and display the REAL output. Confirm the bug is visible.
If the bug cannot be reproduced, stop and explain what was tried.
Phase 2 — Hypothesize and Test (up to 5 iterations)
For each iteration:
- State a specific hypothesis (e.g., "the query targets v2 tables but data is in v3 tables")
- Run a REAL command to test it (e.g.,
sqlite3 [db path] '.tables'thenSELECT COUNT(*) FROM [table]) - Record whether the hypothesis was confirmed or rejected
- If rejected, form the next hypothesis based on what you learned
Do NOT make code changes until you have a confirmed root cause.
Important checks:
- Always check both v2 and v3 SQLite tables when data issues are suspected
- Check dependency versions (e.g., sqlite3 vs better-sqlite3)
- Check for hardcoded values that may have been missed
Phase 3 — Fix
Make the minimal targeted fix. Explain:
- What the root cause was
- What you're changing and why
- What the blast radius is (which other code paths are affected)
Before applying, grep for ALL instances of the problematic pattern across the entire codebase.
Phase 4 — Verify
Run the SAME reproduction command from Phase 1. The output must now show correct values. If it doesn't, go back to Phase 2.
Show before/after output comparison.
Phase 5 — Regression
npm test
Run the full test suite. If tests fail, fix them before committing.
Rules
- NEVER guess or simulate output — always run real commands
- NEVER make code changes before confirming root cause
- Always check for the pattern across the entire codebase, not just one file
- If blocked after 5 hypotheses, stop and ask the user for guidance
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.

debug-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository summarybotng/summarybot-ng (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 483 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to debug-loop, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
