What it does
What Went Wrong is an agent skill from skybrush-io/live. Diagnose what went wrong in the session, why it was inefficient, or where the session derailed
Its SKILL.md is about 280 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: An open-source drone show and drone swarm ground control station GUI frontend. The licence is GPL-3.0.
Example prompts
- “/what-went-wrong”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Describe where it occurred
- Explain the root cause
- Give recommendations for avoiding similar issues in the future, e.g. adding or fixing docs, tests, typing; updating AGENTS.md; fixing a…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e104a06. 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.
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
What Went Wrong loads about 282 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 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.

Analyze this session and identify what went wrong
Focus on:
- Wrong assumptions, e.g. what we assumed that turned out to be incorrect
- Misleading information, e.g. outdated information in read files, misleading user prompt
- Missed information, e.g. what was available but overlooked or not sought out
- Process failures, e.g. skipped verification (linting, typechecking, tests)
- Bad project state, e.g. lack of relevant information, documentation, architecture guide
Do not overload the user with unimportant comments, nitpicking! Just high impact changes, if there are any. Highlight 0-3 issues at most.
If you find no issues, briefly summarize what you considered and state why you see no room for improvement
If there are issues, for each issue:
- Describe where it occurred
- Explain the root cause
- Give recommendations for avoiding similar issues in the future, e.g. adding or fixing docs, tests, typing; updating AGENTS.md; fixing a skill
