Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned travisjneuman/.claude at 050878886e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, debug-systematic, provides a systematic approach to debugging code or processes. It helps identify and isolate issues by breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps. The tool aims to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting and reduce errors in various applications.

When to use it

  • Debugging Complex Code: When faced with intricate codebases where pinpointing the source of an error is challenging.
  • Troubleshooting System Errors: For systematically diagnosing issues within a software system or application workflow.
  • Reproducing Bugs: To help isolate and recreate bugs for further analysis and resolution.
  • Automated Testing Failures: When automated tests fail, this skill can aid in identifying the root cause of the failure.

Key capabilities

  • Systematic debugging approach
  • Error isolation
  • Problem breakdown into smaller steps
  • Improved troubleshooting efficiency

Example prompts

  • "Debug this code and explain each step you took to identify the error."
  • "I'm getting a 'TypeError: undefined is not an object'. Can you systematically debug my script?"
  • "My automated test suite failed. Use your systematic debugging approach to find out why."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when provided with clear and concise code or process descriptions. It may require multiple iterations of analysis and refinement to fully resolve complex issues.
