What it does

Troubleshooting is an agent skill from alecs5am/ralphy. Ralphy CLI operations and repair — environment setup, API keys and connectors, ralphy doctor, reading logs, diagnosing a failed generation or render, and the CLI cookbook for verbs other roles call. USE WHEN the user says "set this up", "set up my keys", "run ralphy doctor", "nothing works", "it failed", "read the logs", "missing key", "why did this generation fail", or asks any question about how a ralphy verb works. TRIGGER (EN): "doctor", "nothing works", "set up keys", "read the logs", "debug this failure"…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cli-cookbook.md`, `references/doctor.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Open-source desktop app for content creation, with an agent runtime and standalone CLI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says set this up
  • Run ralphy doctor
  • Why did this generation fail
  • Asks any question about how a ralphy verb works

Example prompts

  • “set this up”
  • “set up my keys”
  • “run ralphy doctor”
  • “/troubleshooting”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. NO auto-launch. I don't run a UI or scheduler in the background. Chat is the interface. See core/doctor.md.
  2. Connector-owned keys only. ralphy doctor reports required and optional connectors; keys never leak outside their registered provider…
  3. No provider MCP setup. Provider access goes through Ralphy connectors, not ad-hoc MCP servers.
  4. Logs append-only. cli/lib/gen-log.ts enforces the format. See core/troubleshooting.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d139f0. 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:

    • jq
    • bunx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Troubleshooting loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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.

Troubleshooting playbook

Read this when: "set up", "set up keys", "ralphy doctor", "nothing works", "read logs", "debug failed generation", "missing key", any ralphy CLI usage question.

Plumbing role. Other roles call me when something breaks, when the environment isn't up, or when the user wants to inspect under the hood. Ops + CLI expert layer beneath the creative roles.

STOP rule. Every observability question is a ralphy verb. Don't cat / tail JSONL by hand — the log readers below sort, merge, and filter for you. AGENTS invariant #2.

CLI cookbook

Every observability question is a ralphy verb. Don't cat JSONL by hand — the log readers below sort, merge, and filter for you.

bash
# Env / setup health
ralphy doctor                                                # full env check (keys, deps, project)
ralphy doctor -p                                             # human-readable
ralphy status                                                # capabilities + linked project
ralphy setup                                                 # interactive wizard (first-time keys)
ralphy config get / set                                      # config CRUD

# Logs (per-project, append-only via cli/lib/gen-log.ts)
ralphy project log <id> --type generations --limit 50        # latest model calls + cost + errors
ralphy project log <id> --type user-prompts --limit 20       # what the user said, when
ralphy project log <id> --type user-assets --limit 20        # what the user uploaded
ralphy project log <id> --type all --limit 200               # merged, chronological JSON
ralphy project timeline <id>                                 # pretty chronological log (table)

# Workspace inspection
ralphy workspace stats                                       # cross-project counts + disk usage
ralphy project list -p                                       # status per project
ralphy assets list                                           # ralphy-assets companion repo
ralphy assets cache-info                                     # local SHA-verified cache
ralphy assets pull <template>                                # auto-runs on `template use`

# Render-specific debug
ralphy project show <id> --assets                            # what's on disk
ralphy project show <id> --scenario                          # current scenario.json

If the user asks "why did this generation fail" — ralphy project log <id> --type generations | jq '. | select(.status=="error")' is the fast move. Don't grep JSONL by hand.

What I read on start

  • AGENTS.md — invariants (chat is the interface; no auto-launched UI or scheduler).
  • pwd + package.json + CLAUDE.md + MODELS.md to confirm repo root.
  • docs/agent-guide.md — canonical CLI reference. I don't memorize commands; I look them up.
  • docs/cli-spec.md — flag-level spec.
Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less

Hard rules (inherited from AGENTS.md)

  1. NO auto-launch. I don't run a UI or scheduler in the background. Chat is the interface. See core/doctor.md.
  2. Connector-owned keys only. ralphy doctor reports required and optional connectors; keys never leak outside their registered provider modules.
  3. No provider MCP setup. Provider access goes through Ralphy connectors, not ad-hoc MCP servers.
  4. Logs append-only. cli/lib/gen-log.ts enforces the format. See core/troubleshooting.md.

Background processes — manners

  • I don't spawn long-running processes. AGENTS invariant.
  • If the user explicitly asks for preview — I'll say to run bunx hyperframes preview .ralphy/workspaces/<ws>/projects/<id> foreground in a separate window.
  • If the user complains "port busy" — show lsof -iTCP:<port>, user decides whether to kill / leave it.

Handoff

  • After env up + CLI clear → hand back to the role that triggered me (usually producer playbook).
  • Fresh-machine after setup → producer playbook for the first real end-to-end task.
  • HyperFrames-specific → hyperframes playbook (not me).

Questions about Troubleshooting

What does Troubleshooting do?

Ralphy CLI operations and repair — environment setup, API keys and connectors, ralphy doctor, reading logs, diagnosing a failed generation or render, and the CLI cookbook for verbs other roles call. Troubleshooting is an agent skill from alecs5am/ralphy. Ralphy CLI operations and repair — environment setup, API keys and connectors, ralphy doctor, reading logs, diagnosing a failed generation or render, and the CLI cookbook for verbs other roles call.

When should I use Troubleshooting?

Troubleshooting fits situations like: the user says set this up; run ralphy doctor; why did this generation fail; asks any question about how a ralphy verb works.

How do I install Troubleshooting in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add alecs5am/ralphy --skill troubleshooting -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/troubleshooting in alecs5am/ralphy) into .claude/skills/troubleshooting in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Troubleshooting in Codex?

Run `npx skills add alecs5am/ralphy --skill troubleshooting -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/troubleshooting in alecs5am/ralphy) into .agents/skills/troubleshooting in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Troubleshooting in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alecs5am/ralphy --skill troubleshooting -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/troubleshooting, .gemini/skills/troubleshooting, .github/skills/troubleshooting and .opencode/skills/troubleshooting in your project.

What does Troubleshooting need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Troubleshooting needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq and bunx).

Does Troubleshooting access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Troubleshooting safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Troubleshooting use?

Troubleshooting is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Troubleshooting use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Troubleshooting?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Troubleshooting: Short Drama Director (lixiaoxiao9888-create/manju-laoli-skill, 1.1k stars), Gemini Skill (WJZ-P/gemini-skill, 832 stars), Edit Premiere Project (hetpatel-11/Adobe_Premiere_Pro_MCP, 668 stars) and Video Copy Analyzer (ALBEDO-TABAI/video-copy-analyzer, 209 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
