Debug Agent

What it does

The debug-agent skill allows you to inspect and understand the internal state of an AI agent. It provides access to intermediate variables, function calls, and reasoning steps that the agent takes while executing a task. This enables users to identify errors or inefficiencies in the agent's logic and improve its performance.

When to use it

• Troubleshooting unexpected behavior: If your agent is producing incorrect results, this skill can help you pinpoint where things are going wrong.
• Understanding complex reasoning: Gain insight into how an agent arrives at a particular conclusion by examining its internal thought process.
• Optimizing performance: Identify bottlenecks or redundant operations within the agent's workflow to improve speed and efficiency.
• Debugging custom functions: When using custom functions, this skill can help verify that they are being called correctly and producing expected results.

Key capabilities

• Access to intermediate variables
• Inspection of function calls
• Visualization of reasoning steps
• Detailed error reporting

Example prompts

• "Show me the values of all variables after calling the calculate_total function."
• "What was the agent's reasoning when deciding which product to recommend?"
• "Explain why the agent chose option A over option B in this scenario."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the agent’s internal logging and debugging capabilities. Ensure your agent is configured to expose the necessary information for detailed inspection.
