agent-introspection-debugging — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited agent-introspection-debugging (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
When an agent is stuck, producing incorrect outputs, hallucinating, wasting tokens on repeated failed attempts, or when reasoning quality has degraded.
Phase 1 — Failure Capture Document exactly what went wrong:
Phase 2 — Diagnosis Identify WHY the reasoning failed:
| Failure Mode | Symptoms | Root Cause |
|---|---|---|
| Context overflow | Repeating earlier mistakes, forgetting constraints | Context window exceeded, compaction lost key info |
| Hallucination | Confident claims about non-existent code/APIs | Insufficient grounding, no verification step |
| Loop spinning | Same action repeated 3+ times without progress | No exit condition, stuck-detection not triggered |
| Scope creep | Task expanding beyond original spec | Missing constraints, no scope boundary check |
| Stale context | Acting on outdated information | Context not refreshed, old file contents cached |
| Wrong persona | Security review giving UX advice | Persona mismatch, wrong skill loaded |
Phase 3 — Contained Recovery Fix the problem WITHOUT expanding the blast radius:
