Install Debug And Fix

skills CLI
$ npx skills add A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve --skill debug-and-fix -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve debug-and-fix --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/seed_workspaces/terminal/skills/debug-and-fix .claude/skills/debug-and-fix && rm -rf skills-src

What it does

Debug And Fix is an agent skill from A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve. Strategies for debugging build failures, runtime errors, writing complete output files (ICS/JSON/config), and constraint satisfaction tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: The official repository of "Position: Agentic Evolution is the Path to Evolving LLMs".

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “Use the debug-and-fix skill to strategy for debugging build failures, runtime errors, writing complete output files (ICS/JSON/config), and…”
  • “/debug-and-fix”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. C/C++ build fixes
  2. Binary inspection without xxd
  3. Writing complete structured output files
  4. Scheduling / constraint satisfaction
  5. Implementation code

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 18ba996. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • apt-get

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Debug And Fix loads about 406 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 91 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~406

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 91 words (~406 tokens).
