Automated safety checks
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 claude-code-community-ireland/claude-code-resources at b9f5c0fea3.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables systematic debugging of code. It helps identify the root cause of errors by providing a structured approach to analyzing error messages, stack traces, and code execution flow. The skill can suggest potential fixes based on identified issues and guide users through testing those solutions.
When to use it
- When facing an unfamiliar error message in a codebase.
- To efficiently pinpoint the source of bugs in complex software systems.
- For debugging performance bottlenecks or unexpected behavior.
- When needing assistance understanding stack traces and their implications.
Key capabilities
- Error message analysis
- Stack trace interpretation
- Code execution flow tracing
- Suggestion of potential fixes
- Guided testing of solutions
Example prompts
- "Analyze this error message: 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined'"
- "Explain the stack trace from this crash report."
- "I'm seeing slow performance in this function. Can you help me debug it?"
Tips & gotchas
The skill is most effective when provided with complete error messages and relevant code snippets. It assumes a basic understanding of programming concepts to interpret its suggestions effectively.
