activity-diagnostician

activity-diagnostician is a skill for Claude Code from uselessspace/freedeepagents-activity-builder. It costs 169 tokens per session (1,138 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for failed FreeDeepAgents activities, where an activity is one run of an agent workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate failed turns, missing rendered fields, repeated cards, unresponsive agents, and missing generated images.
Why use it?
It connects a run ID, error log, or visible symptom to a likely cause, the place to fix it, and a way to verify the fix.

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

activity-diagnostician 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Activity Diagnostician

<builder-root> 指从本 SKILL.md 所在目录向上两级、包含根 SKILL.mdtools/ 的目录;不要假定它位于目标项目的 packages/ 下。

何时用:活动跑出问题要 debug 时——给 turn_id / 错误日志 / 症状描述任一即可。/activity-smoke 判定失败后通常转到这里。

Own the "turn failed — what went wrong" path. Each error class in references/error-classes.md maps a trace signature to a root cause, a fix location, and the validation step that confirms the fix.

Input forms

Three accepted; pick the one with the most signal:

  1. turn_id (preferred) — e.g. 4daad15531a247c9938b355f2eb1d25e. Locate runtime/instances/<activity_type_id>/<instance_id>/turns/<turn_id>/; the input.json shows what the user sent and trace.jsonl shows what the runtime / LLM / tools did. Walk to workflows/from-turn-id.md.
  2. Error log / stack trace pasted by user — the user copied a message like BadRequestError(...) or OutputValidationError: .... Walk to workflows/from-error-log.md.
  3. Symptom description ("卡片重复 / agent 没反应 / 渲染丢字段") — read references/error-classes.md row by row; each class lists a "user-visible symptom" hint. Match symptom → class → request a turn_id to confirm.

When the turn ran on a reachable shared dev runtime but no local trace is available, route through /activity-dev-cli: run doctor, then fda-dev --folder <activity-folder> logs, and inspect the downloaded fda-logs/ snapshot. logs is read-only on the server but writes a local diagnostic snapshot. Do not guess a trace from the visible UI alone; see ../../references/dev-agent-cli.md.

Output

A short diagnosis with three sections:

## Diagnosis
- Error class: <class id from error-classes.md>
- Root cause: <one sentence>
- Trace evidence: <quoted line(s) from trace.jsonl>

## Fix
- Edit `<exact file path>`: <what to change>
- Authoritative policy: `<path-to-skill-file> §<section>`

## Validation
- Run `<command>` and look for `<expected output>`

What ships with it

3 files 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.
