System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers diagnose failing Python tests by running automated, non-interactive pdb sessions to capture runtime state for analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Uses the debug_session tool to run deterministic pdb commands and collect structured output for debugging.
  • Enables iterative hypothesis testing by inspecting variables, stack frames, and program flow without manual step-by-step interaction.
  • Works on macOS and Linux environments with the included script in the skill directory to simplify debugging workflows.

Quick Start

Run python debug_session.py <script.py> with a predefined set of pdb commands to inspect runtime state and identify the bug.
