What it does
Debugging is an agent skill from citypaul/.dotfiles. WHEN diagnosing a reproducible or observable software failure outside a CI-pipeline-specific workflow; NOT for speculative cleanup, general code review, or speculative behavior changes presented as fixes. Preserves evidence, tests one causal hypothesis at a time, and fixes the owning boundary only when requested; separately authorized reversible incident mitigation may precede diagnosis while severe harm is ongoing.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/source-notes.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Debugging and CI/CD. It works with Git.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Debugging
- Tasks that involve CI/CD
Example prompts
- “/debugging”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Stabilize And Preserve Evidence
- Define And Reproduce
- Localize Before Editing
- Test One Hypothesis
- Choose The Authorized Handoff
- Verify And Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd4028d. 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:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Debugging loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 633 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 633 words (~1,304 tokens).
“Find the causal point, fix it once, and leave evidence that fails if it returns. Do not confuse a plausible story with a tested hypothesis.”

Questions about Debugging
What does Debugging do?

WHEN diagnosing a reproducible or observable software failure outside a CI-pipeline-specific workflow; NOT for speculative cleanup, general code review, or speculative behavior changes presented as fixes.
When should I use Debugging?
Debugging fits situations like: tasks that involve Debugging; tasks that involve CI/CD.
How do I install Debugging in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add citypaul/.dotfiles --skill debugging -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (claude/.claude/skills/debugging in citypaul/.dotfiles) into .claude/skills/debugging in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Debugging in Codex?
Run `npx skills add citypaul/.dotfiles --skill debugging -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (claude/.claude/skills/debugging in citypaul/.dotfiles) into .agents/skills/debugging in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Debugging 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 citypaul/.dotfiles --skill debugging -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/debugging, .gemini/skills/debugging, .github/skills/debugging and .opencode/skills/debugging in your project.
What does Debugging need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Debugging needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Debugging access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Debugging 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 Debugging use?
Debugging has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Debugging use?
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.2k 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 281 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Debugging?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Debugging: Worktrunk Tend CI Guidance (max-sixty/worktrunk, 8.9k stars), Debugging and Error Recovery (addyosmani/agent-skills, 102k stars), Worktrunk Release Workflow (max-sixty/worktrunk, 8.9k stars) and Git Conventions (werf/werf, 4.7k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Debugging?
citypaul (a GitHub user) maintains it in citypaul/.dotfiles, which has 739 GitHub stars. The repository holds 44 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 2, 2026.
