What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex process of debugging Smalltalk code, helping developers quickly identify the root cause of test failures, runtime errors, and unexpected behavior. It provides structured procedures and common error solutions, reducing the time spent on manual investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Debugging Procedures: Offers step-by-step instructions for isolating errors, verifying code with partial execution, and checking intermediate values.
  • Error Pattern Recognition: Provides solutions for common Smalltalk errors like MessageNotUnderstood, KeyNotFound, and SubscriptOutOfBounds.
  • Object Inspection: Guides on how to inspect object states, collections, and dictionaries to understand runtime data.
  • Use Case: A test fails with a MessageNotUnderstood error. This skill automatically suggests using eval to check the receiver's class, search for implemented methods, and inspect the method source, leading the developer directly to the fix.

Quick Start
