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 jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

    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

The debugging-wizard skill helps identify and resolve issues in code by analyzing errors, suggesting fixes, and guiding through troubleshooting processes. It can interpret error messages, inspect variable states, and recommend logical corrections to improve code functionality.

When to use it

  • When encountering runtime errors or exceptions in your code
  • While stepping through a debugging session and needing guidance on next steps
  • To understand the root cause of a bug that is not immediately obvious

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes error messages and stack traces
  • Suggests potential fixes for common bugs
  • Walks through logical steps to isolate issues in code

Example prompts

  • "What does this error message mean: 'Index out of range'?"
  • "Help me debug this Python function that's not returning the expected result."
  • "Walk me through finding the bug in this JavaScript loop."

Tips & gotchas

  • Provide as much context as possible, such as code snippets and error logs, to get accurate suggestions.
  • While it can guide you through debugging, it may not always know your specific application logic or data structures.
