What problem does it solve?

Debugging complex applications often involves understanding low-level communication between debuggers and debug adapters. This Skill demystifies the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), providing a comprehensive guide to its structure, message flows, and best practices within AIDB. It helps developers avoid common pitfalls and implement robust debugging features efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • DAP Protocol Mastery: Gain deep understanding of DAP types, requests, responses, and events.
  • Initialization & Breakpoint Flows: Learn the critical sequences for session setup and breakpoint management.
  • Language-Specific Nuances: Understand how DAP behaves differently across Python, JavaScript, and Java adapters.
  • Use Case: When integrating a new language debugger into AIDB, use this skill to ensure correct DAP message construction and sequence adherence, preventing protocol-level errors and accelerating integration.

Quick Start

Explain the standard DAP initialization sequence and how to set a conditional breakpoint in Python.
