Debug Buttercup workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs All pods run in namespace crs. Use when pods in the crs namespace are in CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, or restarting, multiple services restart simultaneously (cascade failure), or redis is unresponsive or showing AOF warnings and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.
This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/debug-buttercup from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Debug Buttercup
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Namespace and Services, Log Analysis, Redis Debugging, Health Checks, Telemetry (OpenTelemetry / Signoz), Volume and Storage.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
Pods in the crs namespace are in CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, or restarting
Nodes show DiskPressure, MemoryPressure, or PID pressure
Build-bot cannot reach the Docker daemon (DinD failures)

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
--tail shows the end of the log buffer, which may contain old messages. Use --since=300s to confirm issues are actively happening now.
--timestamps on log output helps correlate events across services.
Check Last State timestamps in describe pod to see when the most recent crash actually occurred.
Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Triage Workflow
Always start with triage. Run these three commands first:
# 1. Pod status - look for restarts, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled
kubectl get pods -n crs -o wide
# 2. Events - the timeline of what went wrong
kubectl get events -n crs --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'# 3. Warnings only - filter the noise
kubectl get events -n crs --field-selector type=Warning --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
Then narrow down:
# Why did a specific pod restart? Check Last State Reason (OOMKilled, Error, Completed)
kubectl describe pod -n crs <pod-name> | grep -A8 'Last State:'# Check actual resource limits vs intended
kubectl get pod -n crs <pod-name> -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[0].resources}'# Crashed container's logs (--previous = the container that died)
kubectl logs -n crs <pod-name> --previous --tail=200
# Current logs
kubectl logs -n crs <pod-name> --tail=200
Historical vs Ongoing Issues
High restart counts don't necessarily mean an issue is ongoing -- restarts accumulate over a pod's lifetime. Always distinguish:
--tail shows the end of the log buffer, which may contain old messages. Use --since=300s to confirm issues are actively happening now.
--timestamps on log output helps correlate events across services.
Check Last State timestamps in describe pod to see when the most recent crash actually occurred.
Cascade Detection
When many pods restart around the same time, check for a shared-dependency failure before investigating individual pods. The most common cascade: Redis goes down -> every service gets ConnectionError/ConnectionRefusedError -> mass restarts. Look for the same error across multiple --previous logs -- if they all say redis.exceptions.ConnectionError, debug Redis, not the individual services.
Use @debug-buttercup-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @debug-buttercup-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @debug-buttercup-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @debug-buttercup-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/debug-buttercup, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Redis is the backbone. When it goes down, everything cascades.

kubectl exec -n crs <redis-pod> -- du -sh /data/
Queue Inspection
Buttercup uses Redis streams with consumer groups. Queue names:
If a pod is restart-looping, the health check file is likely going stale because the main process is blocked (e.g. waiting on Redis, stuck on I/O).
Imported: Telemetry (OpenTelemetry / Signoz)
All services export traces and metrics via OpenTelemetry. If Signoz is deployed (global.signoz.deployed: true), use its UI for distributed tracing across services.
# Check if OTEL is configured
kubectl exec -n crs <pod> -- env | grep OTEL
# Verify Signoz pods are running (if deployed)
kubectl get pods -n platform -l app.kubernetes.io/name=signoz
Traces are especially useful for diagnosing slow task processing, identifying which service in a pipeline is the bottleneck, and correlating events across the scheduler -> build-bot -> fuzzer-bot chain.
Imported: Volume and Storage
# PVC status
kubectl get pvc -n crs
# Check if corpus tmpfs is mounted, its size, and backing type
kubectl exec -n crs <pod> -- mount | grep corpus_tmpfs
kubectl exec -n crs <pod> -- df -h /corpus_tmpfs 2>/dev/null
# Check if CORPUS_TMPFS_PATH is set
kubectl exec -n crs <pod> -- env | grep CORPUS
# Full disk layout - what's on real disk vs tmpfs
kubectl exec -n crs <pod> -- df -h
CORPUS_TMPFS_PATH is set when global.volumes.corpusTmpfs.enabled: true. This affects fuzzer-bot, coverage-bot, seed-gen, and merger-bot.
Deployment Config Verification
When behavior doesn't match expectations, verify Helm values actually took effect:
# Check a pod's actual resource limits
kubectl get pod -n crs <pod-name> -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[0].resources}'# Check a pod's actual volume definitions
kubectl get pod -n crs <pod-name> -o jsonpath='{.spec.volumes}'
Helm values template typos (e.g. wrong key names) silently fall back to chart defaults. If deployed resources don't match the values template, check for key name mismatches.
