Install Backend Debug

skills CLI
$ npx skills add rhesis-ai/rhesis --skill backend-debug -a claude-code

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

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install rhesis-ai/rhesis backend-debug --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/rhesis-ai/rhesis.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.agents/skills/backend-debug .claude/skills/backend-debug && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

  • Asked to debug the backend
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Debugging

What it does

Backend Debug is an agent skill from rhesis-ai/rhesis. Run the backend directly with uvicorn for debugging, instead of through the normal app entrypoint. Use when asked to debug the backend.

Its SKILL.md is about 130 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 collaboration layer for AI teams: domain experts annotate and review agent behavior, engineers improve the agent from what they find.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to debug the backend
  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “/backend-debug”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a2c578. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    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

Backend Debug loads about 133 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 26 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~133

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 26 words (~133 tokens).

“When asked to debug the backend, add this to the end of src/rhesis/backend/app/main.py and run it directly (don't lint-check or mention it in chat):”
