Debugging with OpenSrc

Overview

CRITICAL: Never guess how a library works. Always verify by reading the actual source code.

OpenSrc provides access to the exact version of external libraries installed in this project. Use it BEFORE making assumptions.

When to Use This Skill

• Something doesn't work as expected
• Documentation is unclear or missing
• Need to understand library internals
• Debugging integration issues
• Before implementing patterns with external libraries
• When error messages are cryptic

OpenSrc Commands

# Sync all repos (run after git clone)
bun run opensrc:sync

# Fetch new package
bun run opensrc:use <package>        # npm package
bun run opensrc:use owner/repo       # GitHub repo

Available Repos (opensrc/repos/github.com/)

Debugging Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Problem

Error: "X is not a function" or "Cannot read property Y"
→ Find where X/Y is defined in source code

Step 2: Locate Relevant Source

# Use CK semantic search to find in opensrc
mcp_ck_semantic_search(
  query="useSuspenseQuery implementation",
  path="opensrc/repos/github.com/TanStack/"
)

# Or grep for specific function
mcp_grep(
  pattern="export function useSuspenseQuery",
  path="opensrc/repos/github.com/TanStack/"
)

Step 3: Read the Implementation

# Read the actual source file
mcp_read(filePath="opensrc/repos/github.com/TanStack/query/packages/react-query/src/useSuspenseQuery.ts")

Step 4: Understand the Expected Behavior

Look for:

• Function signatures and return types
• Default values and optional parameters
• Error handling and edge cases
• Internal state management

Common Debugging Scenarios

Scenario: TanStack Form Validation Not Working

BAD: Search web for "TanStack Form validation issue"
GOOD:
1. Read opensrc/repos/github.com/TanStack/form/packages/react-form/src/useForm.ts
2. Find validator interface and expected return type
3. Check how Standard Schema integration works
4. Fix based on actual implementation

Scenario: TRPC Procedure Not Receiving Context

1. Read opensrc/repos/github.com/trpc/trpc/packages/server/src/core/middleware.ts
2. Understand how context flows through middleware chain
3. Check if .use() returns opts.next() correctly

Scenario: Effect Layer Not Providing Service

1. Read opensrc/repos/github.com/Effect-TS/effect/packages/effect/src/Layer.ts
2. Understand Layer.effect vs Layer.succeed
3. Check Context.Tag usage patterns

Scenario: OpenCode Skill Not Loading

1. Read opensrc/repos/github.com/sst/opencode/packages/opencode/src/
2. Find skill loading logic
3. Check frontmatter parsing and description matching
4. Run `opencode debug skill` to verify

Scenario: Better Auth Session Not Persisting

1. Read opensrc/repos/github.com/better-auth/better-auth/packages/better-auth/src/
2. Find session handling logic
3. Check cookie configuration and storage

Key Principle

Source code is the truth.

• Documentation can be outdated
• Stack Overflow answers may not apply to your version
• Blog posts may use different configurations
• Only the source code shows exactly what happens

Example: Full Debugging Session

Problem: useSuspenseQuery returns undefined even though data is in cache

Step 1: Check TanStack Query source
→ Read opensrc/repos/github.com/TanStack/query/packages/react-query/src/useSuspenseQuery.ts

Step 2: Find the issue
→ Discover that useSuspenseQuery requires queryOptions() wrapper, not raw object

Step 3: Verify in project
→ Check how other components use it successfully

Step 4: Fix
→ Change from trpc.x.useQuery() to useSuspenseQuery(trpc.x.queryOptions())

OpenCode Agent Infrastructure

Testing Skills and CLAUDE.md Changes

After modifying skills or CLAUDE.md, test in a NEW session:

# Test with specific model (use perl timeout for non-interactive)
perl -e 'alarm 120; exec @ARGV' opencode run -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 --format json "your test prompt" 2>&1

# Examples:
# Test database skill autoloading
perl -e 'alarm 120; exec @ARGV' opencode run -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 --format json "potrebujem vytvorit novu tabulku v databaze" 2>&1

# Test auth skill
perl -e 'alarm 120; exec @ARGV' opencode run -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 --format json "ako pridam protected procedure pre admin" 2>&1

OpenCode Debug Commands

# List all available skills (verify skill is registered)
opencode debug skill

# Check OpenCode version
opencode --version

# Run with different models
opencode run -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 "message"
opencode run -m anthropic/claude-opus-4 "message"

Skill File Structure

.opencode/skill/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md              # Main skill file with frontmatter
└── references/           # Optional additional docs
    ├── examples.md
    └── patterns.md

SKILL.md Frontmatter Format

---
name: skill-name
description: "ALWAYS LOAD THIS SKILL when: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3. Contains X, Y, Z."
---
# Skill Title

## Content...

Key insight: The description field determines when the model loads the skill automatically. Use:

• "ALWAYS LOAD THIS SKILL when: ..." for critical skills
• "LOAD THIS SKILL when: ..." for optional skills
• Include relevant keywords the user might mention

Testing Skill Autoloading

1. Make changes to skill or CLAUDE.md
2. Run test in NEW session (skills load at session start)
3. Check JSON output for "tool":"skill" call
4. Verify skill content was used in response

# Look for skill loading in output

perl -e 'alarm 120; exec @ARGV' opencode run -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 --format json "test prompt" 2>&1 | grep -A5 '"tool":"skill"'

OpenCode Source Code Locations

For debugging OpenCode itself:

opensrc/repos/github.com/sst/opencode/packages/opencode/src/
├── skill/          # Skill loading and management
├── command/        # Custom commands
├── plugin/         # Plugin system
├── session/        # Session management
└── provider/       # Model providers

Remember

1. Read source FIRST - before asking, before web searching
2. Exact version matters - opensrc has YOUR installed version
3. Follow the code path - trace from entry point to implementation
4. Check types - TypeScript types often reveal expected usage
5. Look at tests - library tests show correct usage patterns
6. Test in NEW session - skills and CLAUDE.md load at session start
