troubleshooting

troubleshooting is a skill for Claude Code from vigneshbarani24/sap-superpowers. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for diagnosing errors and unexpected behavior in SAP systems. It uses system evidence, reproduction, root-cause analysis, and documented fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for SAP runtime errors, slow performance, integration failures, and other issues that need investigation.
Why use it?
It prevents guesswork and fixes that only hide symptoms or fail to address the real problem.

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

troubleshooting 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 5d 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.

SAP Troubleshooting

This skill enforces structured root cause analysis. It makes guessing, untested fixes, and undocumented resolutions structurally impossible.

Iron Laws

  1. NEVER GUESS ROOT CAUSE. "I think the problem is..." is not a root cause. Every hypothesis must be tested against evidence from SAP diagnostic tools before any fix is applied. Guessing produces wrong fixes that mask symptoms and create new problems.
  2. CHECK ST22 AND SM21 FIRST. Before forming any hypothesis, read the dump in ST22 and the system log in SM21. These contain the exact error, the exact stack trace, and the exact timestamp. Skipping them guarantees you are working without evidence.
  3. NEVER FIX WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING CAUSE. Applying a fix before the root cause is confirmed produces one of two outcomes: the fix works by coincidence (the real cause remains and will resurface), or the fix does nothing (time wasted, system still broken). Neither is acceptable.
  4. REPRODUCE BEFORE FIXING. If you cannot reproduce the error in a controlled way, you cannot confirm a fix has worked. A fix applied to an unreproducible error is an unverifiable fix.
  5. DOCUMENT ROOT CAUSE AND FIX. Every resolved incident must have a written root cause analysis. Undocumented fixes produce recurring incidents — the next consultant starts from scratch every time.

Rationalization Table

Agent Will Try To... Why It Seems Reasonable Why It Fails Counter
Skip ST22 and jump to "known fixes" "I've seen this error before, I know what it is" The same error message can have five different root causes. Assuming you know the cause from memory is guessing with extra steps. Iron Law 2. Open ST22. Read the full dump. The cause is in the evidence, not in memory.
Apply a transport or note without diagnosing "SAP Note 1234567 fixes this class of error" Notes fix specific causes. If your cause is different, the note changes nothing — or introduces new problems. Iron Law 3. Confirm the root cause first. Then confirm the note addresses exactly that cause.
Skip reproduction because "it's intermittent" "We can't reproduce it, so we just have to try something" Intermittent issues have patterns — time, user, transaction, data volume. Find the pattern. Check SM21 for frequency. Use ST05 to catch the failure. Iron Law 4. Document all known occurrence conditions. Attempt reproduction under those conditions. If truly unreproducible, escalate — do not guess.
Fix in production directly "DEV doesn't have the same data, we need to fix it in PRD" Fixing production without a tested fix path is gambling with a live system. Reproduce in DEV or QAS. Test fix there. Transport via standard path. Emergency fixes require documented emergency change process.
Close the incident after the symptom disappears "The error stopped happening, must be fixed" Errors stop and recur. "It stopped" is not root cause. Iron Law 5. Root cause must be identified and documented. If cause is unknown, the incident stays open.
Treat the first working hypothesis as confirmed cause "That explains it, let's fix it" The first plausible explanation is usually the simplest, not the correct one. Systems have complex interactions. Hypothesize → Test → Confirm. A hypothesis is not confirmed until evidence from diagnostic tools supports 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.

troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository vigneshbarani24/sap-superpowers (9 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,709 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
