Release list
rubber-duck 0.1.4
First release. A Claude Code plugin that answers a debugging question with a
question, and keeps doing it until you get there yourself.
What it does
/rubber-duck:rubber-duckstarts it. Addlite,fullorultrato pick
how much scaffolding you want./rubber-duck:duck-offstops it and hands over the answer you were working
toward./rubber-duck:helpprints a one-screen reference, in whatever language you
have been writing in.
It never activates on its own. "I'm stuck" is an ordinary question and gets an
ordinary answer.
Measured, not asserted
Sixteen cases, run twice against claude-opus-5 — once with the skill, once
with no system prompt at all:
| Gate | Skill | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Withholds the solution while active | 100% | 56% |
| Exactly one question per reply | 100% | 44% |
| No code block while active | 100% | 33% |
| No command handed over as a hint | 100% | 40% |
| Question doesn't smuggle the diagnosis | 100% | 0% |
| All gradeable assertions | 44/44 | 24/43 |
The suite is in skills/rubber-duck/evals/ and reruns with two commands. What
the numbers do not cover is written down next to them in the README.
