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 heyvhuang/ship-faster at 64047d24e0.

    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

The tool-systematic-debugging skill enables AI agents to methodically analyze and resolve complex technical issues by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps. It facilitates a structured debugging process that ensures thorough investigation and accurate root cause identification.

When to use it

  • Troubleshooting non-obvious bugs where standard error messages do not provide clear guidance.
  • Debugging multi-step workflows involving several interconnected services or modules.
  • Resolving performance bottlenecks that require isolating specific variables or code paths.
  • Investigating intermittent failures that occur under specific conditions or loads.

Key capabilities

  • Decomposes complex debugging tasks into a logical sequence of actions.
  • Executes targeted diagnostic steps to isolate the source of an issue.
  • Maintains a systematic approach to prevent overlooking potential causes.

Example prompts

  • "Systematically debug why the user authentication flow is timing out on the production server."
  • "Break down this complex data pipeline failure into specific diagnostic steps and execute them."
  • "Use a methodical approach to find the root cause of intermittent API latency spikes."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide clear context about the environment and error logs before initiating a systematic debug session. This skill is most effective when paired with access to relevant codebases or system logs to validate each diagnostic step.
