Troubleshoot and debug issues. An agent skill from SeifBenayed/cloclo.

  • Works in 5 steps: Understand the problem → Reproduce → Investigate → …
  • The user reports an error
  • Calls git
  • Unexpected behavior

What it does

Debug is an agent skill from SeifBenayed/cloclo. Troubleshoot and debug issues. Use when the user reports an error, a test failure, unexpected behavior, or asks to investigate why something isn't working.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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 Failing and flaky tests and Debugging. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code SDK — single-file CLIs in Node.js, Python, Go, Rust that use directly. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user reports an error
  • Unexpected behavior
  • Asks to investigate why something isnt working

Example prompts

  • “/debug”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand the problem
  2. Reproduce
  3. Investigate
  4. Form a hypothesis and verify
  5. Report findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00f5195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    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

Debug loads about 419 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~419

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

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.

Debug

Help diagnose and troubleshoot the described issue or the most recent error.

Steps

  1. Understand the problem

    • Read any error messages or stack traces mentioned
    • Ask clarifying questions if the problem description is vague
    • Check recent git changes that might have caused the issue: git diff HEAD~3

  2. Reproduce

    • If there's a failing test, run it to see the exact error
    • If it's a runtime issue, try to reproduce with minimal steps

  3. Investigate

    • Find the relevant source files using the stack trace or error message
    • Trace the code path that leads to the error
    • Check for common issues:
      • Typos in variable or function names
      • Wrong types or missing type conversions
      • Missing imports or dependencies
      • Race conditions or async issues
      • Environment differences (missing env vars, wrong paths)
      • Recent changes that broke assumptions

  4. Form a hypothesis and verify

    • State what you think the root cause is
    • Find evidence in the code that supports or refutes it
    • If needed, add targeted logging to narrow down the issue

  5. Report findings

    • Root cause explanation (why it broke, not just what broke)
    • Suggested fix with specific code changes
    • How to prevent similar issues in the future

Do NOT make changes unless explicitly asked — diagnose and explain first. The user should decide whether and how to fix it.

Can I use Debug 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 SeifBenayed/cloclo --skill debug -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/debug, .gemini/skills/debug, .github/skills/debug and .opencode/skills/debug in your project.

What does Debug need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Debug needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob.

Does Debug 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.

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Debug use?

Debug is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Debug use?

About 419 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
