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 ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    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 provides a collection of debugging strategies to help identify and resolve issues in AI agent workflows. It offers techniques for systematically analyzing errors, pinpointing root causes, and implementing effective solutions. The skill aims to improve the reliability and predictability of AI agent behavior through structured troubleshooting approaches.

When to use it

  • When an AI agent consistently produces incorrect or unexpected results.
  • During the development phase to proactively identify and address potential issues.
  • After a production deployment when errors are reported by users or monitoring systems.
  • To diagnose performance bottlenecks within an AI agent's execution flow.

Key capabilities

  • Provides debugging techniques
  • Offers systematic error analysis
  • Identifies root causes of failures
  • Suggests solutions to improve reliability

Example prompts

  • "I'm getting inconsistent results from my agent; can you suggest some debugging strategies?"
  • "My AI is failing on edge cases. What steps should I take to diagnose the problem?"
  • “The agent’s response time has increased significantly, what debugging approaches would be best?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of the AI agent's architecture and workflow. For complex systems, combining this skill with other diagnostic tools may be necessary for comprehensive troubleshooting.
