What it does

Debug is an agent skill from ldayton/Dippy. Debug incorrect Dippy approval or block behavior

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 🐤 Less permission fatigue, more momentum. Dippy knows what’s safe to run and keeps Claude on track when plans change. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/debug”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand the bug from the provided context
  2. Search the codebase to find the relevant handler or pattern
  3. Write a failing test FIRST in the appropriate test file
  4. Run just test and verify the test fails as expected
  5. Fix the bug in the handler or pattern
  6. Run just test until the test passes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2edad4a. 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:

    • just
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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

Debug loads about 235 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 128 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~235

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.

description
Debug incorrect Dippy approval or block behavior
disable-model-invocation
true

Debug a Dippy issue based on user-provided context.

The user will provide:

  • The command that was incorrectly approved or blocked
  • Expected vs actual behavior
  • Any relevant error messages or logs

Process

  1. Understand the bug from the provided context
  2. Search the codebase to find the relevant handler or pattern
  3. Write a failing test FIRST in the appropriate test file
  4. Run just test and verify the test fails as expected
  5. Fix the bug in the handler or pattern
  6. Run just test until the test passes

Finish

When tests pass:

uv run ruff check --fix && uv run ruff format

just check MUST pass before you're done.

Restrictions

  • ONLY modify files directly related to the bug
  • Make minimal, targeted fixes
  • Do NOT refactor or "improve" unrelated code
  • Do NOT create a git commit or PR
