debugging-code
Interactively debug source code — set breakpoints, step through execution line by line, inspect live variable state, evaluate expressions against the running program, and navigate the call stack to trace root causes. Use when a program crashes, raises unexpected exceptions, produces wrong output, when you need to understand how execution reached a certain state, or when print-statement debugging isn't revealing enough.

Critical
Do not install without reviewing
Security
2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 medium severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
What this means
Detected a suspicious URL in the skill instructions that could lead the agent to download and execute malicious scripts or binaries. This includes links to executables from untrusted sources, typosquatting of official packages, URL shorteners that obscure the destination, and personal file hosting services.
Why it was flagged
These URLs include direct download endpoints and API calls pointing to a personal GitHub repository and its release assets (used to fetch and install prebuilt binaries), which is a higher-risk distribution method for executables compared with official vendor/CDN sources.
W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
Why it was flagged
The skill explicitly mentions disabling macOS System Integrity Protection (`csrutil disable`) to allow attaching a debugger to a process, which is an instruction to bypass a core security mechanism and would compromise the machine state.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The skill includes installer commands that fetch and install remote binaries/source at setup time (e.g., "go install github.com/AlmogBaku/debug-skill/cmd/dap@latest" and curl calls to "https://api.github.com/repos/$REPO/releases/latest" / "https://github.com/$REPO/releases/download/$LATEST/$ASSET_NAME" and the js-debug release URLs), which downloads and executes remote code during runtime setup.
