Claude Code Debug Configuration Workflow
# From The Claude Code Playbook — claudecodeguides.com/playbook/ {% raw %} Debugging skill configurations in Claude Code requires a systematic approach. When your skills behave unexpectedly or fail to trigger correctly, understanding the debug configuration workflow helps you identify and resolve issues quickly. This guide walks through practical debugging techniques that work with any Claude skill, from simple prompt modifications to complex multi-tool configurations. ## Understanding Skill Execution Context Every skill runs within a specific execution context that determines which tools are available and how the model interprets your instructions. When something goes wrong, the first step is understanding what the skill actually received and processed. The `claude-skill-md` format stores skill definitions in markdown files with YAML front matter. Your debug workflow should start by examining the raw skill file:
