About This Skill
What it does
The debug-helper skill assists in identifying and resolving errors within code. It provides tools to analyze error messages, suggest potential causes of bugs, and offer solutions based on common debugging patterns. This allows AI agents to more effectively troubleshoot issues during automated tasks or development workflows.
When to use it
- When an agent encounters an unexpected error while executing a script or program.
- To help diagnose the root cause of failing tests in an automated testing suite.
- During code generation, when the generated code produces errors that need immediate correction.
- To understand complex error messages and translate them into actionable debugging steps.
Key capabilities
- Error message analysis
- Bug cause suggestion
- Solution proposal based on common patterns
Example prompts
- "I'm getting this error:
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable. What does it mean?" - "My test suite failed. The error is
AssertionError: Expected 5, got 7. Can you help me debug?" - "This code isn’t working: [insert code snippet]. What might be the problem?"
Tips & gotchas
The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and complete error messages or relevant code snippets. It is designed to assist with common programming errors, so highly specialized or obscure issues may require more manual debugging.
