What it does

Weft Debugging is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read when a run failed, did the wrong thing, never started, got stuck or was cancelled, or when you need to read what a past run did: the order to read a run in (executions, logs, events), what each skip and cancel reason means, and the debugging playbook, from a compile error to a daemon that does not answer.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k 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: A programming language for AI orchestrations.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e28f31. 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

Weft Debugging loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,566 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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 1,566 words (~2,483 tokens).

“Each verb below prints one compact line per run or per event and has a flag that opens the part you want, so a forty-node run reads without loading the whole journal. You read in this order and stop when…”

Can I use Weft Debugging 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 WeaveMindAI/weft --skill weft-debugging -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/weft-debugging, .gemini/skills/weft-debugging, .github/skills/weft-debugging and .opencode/skills/weft-debugging in your project.

What does Weft Debugging need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Weft Debugging is instructions for the agent only.

Does Weft Debugging access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
