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 third774/dotfiles at 07d023bf76.

    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 structured approach to debugging code, helping identify and resolve issues methodically. It facilitates isolating problems through targeted testing and analysis of error messages. The tool aims to improve efficiency in troubleshooting by guiding users through a systematic process rather than ad-hoc attempts at fixing errors.

When to use it

  • When encountering unexpected behavior or errors in a software program.
  • During the development phase to proactively identify and fix bugs early on.
  • To diagnose issues reported by users, ensuring a consistent debugging approach.
  • When needing to isolate a specific component of a larger system that is causing problems.

Key capabilities

  • Systematic error analysis
  • Targeted testing strategies
  • Isolation of problematic code sections
  • Guided troubleshooting process

Example prompts

  • "Debug this Python script and explain the root cause of the error."
  • "I'm getting a 'TypeError: unsupported operand type(s)' error. Can you help me systematically debug it?"
  • "Walk me through debugging this JavaScript function step-by-step."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when provided with clear code and error messages. A basic understanding of the programming language being debugged is helpful for interpreting the suggested steps.
