Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

Evidence-before-action diagnosis of failing ML experiments. Probes the system before guessing causes, process list, dmesg, GPU stats, log scrollback, checkpoint state, then states a hypothesis as a hypothesis and runs a smoke before claiming a root cause. Use when the user asks why a run is failing, diverging, OOMing, hanging, slow, producing weird metrics, has crashed, or asks to debug, diagnose, troubleshoot, or investigate a training issue.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fcakyon/labrat' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '04877622ff124d92d9ee8377109499c0afc6bf01' -- 'plugin/skills/debug' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugin/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.
