What it does

Canvasight Troubleshooting is an agent skill from Niall-Young/Canvasight. Diagnose and fix Canvasight plugin, MCP, native-widget readiness, host bridge, daemon, browser fallback, Run delivery, install, cache, or connection problems. Use when the widget is stuck on Opening Canvasight, awaitcanvasightwidgetready returns timeout or failed, React never mounts, a tool falsely appears successful while the canvas is unusable, tools are missing or stale, Transport closed appears, Run does not reach the current task, localhost fails, or Canvasight behavior does not match the installed version.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/troubleshooting.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative. It works with Model Context Protocol and React. The repository describes itself as: 用于梳理任务然后交付给 AI 工具的 plugin 插件. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f47e0bf. 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:
- codex
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

Canvasight Troubleshooting loads about 710 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~710
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.7k

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.

Checklist

Reproduce the normal path with the current CODEX_THREAD_ID: call open_canvasight, capture sessionId and openAttemptId, then call await_canvasight_widget_ready with both values and the same threadId.
Treat only verified fullscreen readiness with all render evidence true as success. Otherwise record attempt/session/instance identity, display mode, stage, render evidence, error, and timestamp before changing anything.
Classify the failing layer: tool discovery/live MCP transport, session/task binding, widget bootstrap/React mount, initial session API, host bridge/Run delivery, browser fallback, daemon, installed cache, or .scatter data.
If required tools are missing, call tool_search for canvasight open_canvasight await_canvasight_widget_ready render_canvasight_canvas_widget before declaring them unavailable.
If a callable Canvasight tool returns Transport closed, report canvasight_mcp_transport_closed and inspect mcp-lifecycle.log when available. If the plugin version changed while Codex Desktop was running, reload/restart the host before creating and tagging a new task; a new task alone can retain the old app-level registry. Do not substitute browser fallback.
If the result reports a missing or mismatched task id, reopen with the active task's exact CODEX_THREAD_ID.
Verify the installed source and version with codex plugin list when behavior is stale. When an install or upgrade changes the resolved version, reload/restart the Codex host, then create a new task and tag the plugin again; creating a task alone is not a sufficient refresh guarantee.
Use browser fallback only to isolate browser/daemon behavior. It cannot verify native readiness or native Run delivery.
Run the narrowest relevant automated checks, then perform the real native-host acceptance gate. Automated checks remain supporting evidence.

Never say the widget is opened, ready, or fixed based only on tool completion, resource reads, daemon health, browser fallback, build output, or smoke tests.

Read references/troubleshooting.md for symptom-specific evidence and recovery.
