debug
67 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By arbiterForge/codeArbiter (GitHub) · coding · 153 stars · scanned at commit 3f1bd13
Investigate an unexplained defect or unexpected behavior without changing application code. Use for root-cause diagnosis and an evidence-backed handoff, including a bounded unresolved result. Not for implementing a known fix, new features, or explanation-only questions.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named debug already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/arbiterForge/codeArbiter' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3f1bd13762ed9f25320e58907f9bf98a81128504' -- 'plugins/ca/skills/debug' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/ca/skills/debug' ~/.agents/skills/'debug' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'debug' ~/.claude/skills/'debug' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
