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 futuregerald/futuregerald-claude-plugin at d4b1dc6ae0.

    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, Systematic Debugging, helps AI agents systematically identify and resolve errors in code or processes. It breaks down complex issues into smaller, manageable steps, allowing for a more structured debugging approach. The agent can analyze error messages, suggest potential causes, and propose solutions based on the provided context.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting failing automated tests: Use this skill when your AI agent is running automated tests that are consistently failing.
  • Debugging complex code logic: Employ it when an AI agent needs to pinpoint errors within intricate codebases or algorithms.
  • Analyzing unexpected system behavior: Leverage the skill to diagnose and correct unusual or incorrect outputs from a software system.
  • Investigating error reports: Use this skill to systematically analyze user-submitted bug reports and identify root causes.

Key capabilities

  • Error message analysis
  • Hypothesis generation for potential causes
  • Suggestion of debugging steps
  • Solution proposal based on context

Example prompts

  • "I'm getting a 'TypeError: undefined is not an object' error in my JavaScript code. Can you help me debug it?"
  • "My automated tests are failing with the message 'AssertionError: Expected 10, got 5'. What could be causing this?"
  • "The system is generating incorrect reports. Please analyze the process and suggest debugging steps."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires providing sufficient context about the code or system being debugged for effective analysis. Without adequate information, the suggestions may be inaccurate or unhelpful.
