Install target

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 mileycy516-stack/skills at f304c156f8.

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

3 files, 132 lines
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 provides strategies for debugging software and applications. It can help identify root causes of errors, suggest potential fixes, and explain complex technical issues in a clear manner. The skill aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of troubleshooting processes.

When to use it

  • You're encountering an unexpected error or bug in your code.
  • You need assistance understanding a stack trace or error message.
  • You want suggestions for systematically isolating and resolving software issues.
  • You are trying to diagnose performance bottlenecks within an application.

Key capabilities

  • Root cause analysis of errors
  • Explanation of stack traces
  • Suggestion of potential fixes
  • Systematic troubleshooting guidance

Example prompts

  • "Explain this error message: 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined'"
  • "I’m seeing a NullPointerException. Can you help me debug it?"
  • "My application is running slowly. What debugging strategies can I use to identify the bottleneck?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires providing detailed error messages or code snippets for effective analysis. The quality of suggestions depends on the clarity and completeness of the information provided.
