uvs-investigate

uvs-investigate is a skill for Claude Code from utsavanand/uv-suite. It costs 45 tokens per session (884 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step debugging guide for finding the underlying cause of a software problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when something is broken and the cause is unclear; after three unsuccessful attempts, it escalates the investigation.
Why use it?
It narrows the problem by reproducing it, tracing how data moves, and testing possible explanations.

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

uvs-investigate scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The bug

$ARGUMENTS

Project context

!cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No CLAUDE.md"

Session output directory

Write investigation findings under this directory (scoped to the current session):

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-session.sh

Codebase map

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-best.sh map-codebase.md 60 || echo "No codebase map"

Recent changes (potential cause)

!git log --oneline -15 2>/dev/null || echo "no git"

Latest checkpoint

!cat uv-out/current/checkpoints/latest.md 2>/dev/null | head -30 || echo "No checkpoint"

Investigation methodology

Follow this process strictly:

Phase 1: Reproduce

Before investigating, reproduce the bug. Run the failing test, hit the failing endpoint, trigger the error. If you can't reproduce it, say so and ask for reproduction steps.

Phase 2: Narrow scope

Form a hypothesis about WHERE the bug is:

  1. Read the error message/stack trace carefully
  2. Identify the failing component (which file, which function, which layer)
  3. Check recent changes to that component (git log --oneline [file])
  4. Check if the component was modified in the last 5 commits (git diff HEAD~5 [file])

State your hypothesis explicitly: "I think the bug is in [X] because [Y]."

Phase 3: Test the hypothesis

Verify your hypothesis with the smallest possible test:

  • Add a log/print statement
  • Write a focused test case
  • Run a specific command that isolates the behavior

If the hypothesis is wrong, form a new one. Track what you've ruled out.

Phase 4: Fix or escalate

If you found the root cause within 3 attempts: fix it, run the tests, verify.

If you haven't found it after 3 attempts:

## Stuck: [bug description]

Ruled out:
1. [Hypothesis 1] — wrong because [evidence]
2. [Hypothesis 2] — wrong because [evidence]  
3. [Hypothesis 3] — wrong because [evidence]

Remaining possibilities:
- [What I haven't checked yet]

What I need:
- [Specific question or access needed from the human]

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.
