Debugger

What it does

The charon-fan-debugger skill allows AI agents to step through code execution, inspect variables at each step, and identify errors. It provides a debugging interface within the agent's environment, enabling more precise control over program flow and facilitating troubleshooting of complex tasks. This is particularly useful for iterative development and understanding intricate logic.

When to use it

• Debugging Complex Scripts: When an AI agent’s script produces unexpected results or errors, use this skill to pinpoint the source of the problem.
• Understanding Agent Logic: To gain a deeper understanding of how an agent is processing information and making decisions, step through its code execution.
• Iterative Development: During development cycles, utilize debugging features to quickly identify and resolve issues in your AI agent’s scripts.
• Reproducing Errors: When encountering intermittent errors, use the debugger to recreate the conditions leading up to the error for easier analysis.

Key capabilities

• Step-by-step code execution
• Variable inspection at each step
• Error identification and tracing

Example prompts

• "Debug my Python script and show me the value of 'x' after line 10."
• "Step through this JavaScript function one line at a time."
• "Can you trace back where this error originated in my code?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires the agent to have access to and be able to execute code. The effectiveness of debugging depends on the clarity and structure of the underlying code; poorly written or obfuscated code can be difficult to debug even with assistance.
