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 derhaken/superantigravity at 2078b2c3d9.

    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 systematic-debugging skill provides a structured approach to identifying and resolving software defects. It helps break down complex issues into manageable steps, ensuring thorough investigation and efficient solutions. This skill focuses on methodical testing and analysis rather than just fixing errors as they arise.

When to use it

  • Complex Bug Reproduction: When debugging an issue that is difficult to reproduce or has inconsistent behavior.
  • Regression Testing: To ensure new code changes haven't introduced unintended side effects in existing functionality.
  • Root Cause Analysis: When you need to understand the underlying reason for a software failure, not just address the symptom.
  • Collaborative Debugging: When multiple developers are working on an issue and require a standardized debugging process.

Key capabilities

  • Structured testing methodologies
  • Error isolation techniques
  • Root cause analysis
  • Regression test creation

Example prompts

  • "Debug this code snippet, systematically identifying potential issues."
  • "I'm seeing intermittent errors in module X. Can you help me debug it using a systematic approach?"
  • "Create a regression test suite to cover the recent changes made to feature Y."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when applied to codebases with existing tests or clear documentation. Without sufficient information about the system, the debugging process may be less efficient.
