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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 vltansky/debug-skill at 63438f4823.

    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

The Debug skill helps AI agents identify and fix code errors by leveraging advanced static analysis and targeted test case generation, moving beyond guesswork. It automates debugging workflows using a server-side log capture system, eliminating manual copy-pasting of console logs and enabling direct access to debug information for the user. The skill focuses on issues like state/value problems, conditional logic, asynchronous timing, and user interaction flows.

When to use it

This skill is particularly useful in these scenarios:

  • When you're about to manually check the DevTools Console for errors.
  • When you need to reproduce a bug and examine its output.
  • When you’re adding console.log statements to debug code.
  • When debugging user interaction flows involving modals, forms, or clicks.

Key capabilities

  • Automated Log Capture: Captures console logs server-side, eliminating manual copy-pasting.
  • Session Management: Creates and manages unique debugging sessions with associated log files.
  • Debugging Focus: Specifically designed for state/value issues, conditional logic, asynchronous timing, and user interaction flows.
  • Server-Side Debugging: Runs a debug server to facilitate automated analysis and reporting.

Example prompts

Here are some example prompts you could use with an AI agent equipped with this skill:

  • /debug /path/to/project (Starts the debugging process for a specific project)
  • /debug create session fix-null-userid (Creates a new debugging session named "fix-null-userid")
  • /debug log sessionId=fix-null-userid-a1b2c3 msg="User ID is null" (Adds a debug message to the specified session's log file)

Tips & gotchas

  • Project Path: You must provide the path to your project when initiating the debugging process. If no path is provided, it defaults to the current working directory.
  • Server Port: The skill uses port 8787 by default. Ensure this port isn't already in use; otherwise, resolve the conflict using lsof -.
  • Session ID: Carefully save and reuse the unique session ID generated when creating a debugging session.
