Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Only contacts known or declared hosts: maven.apache.org.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
Hosts contacted
maven.apache.orgnamespace identifierNo obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The Dynamic Debugger skill enables interactive debugging within Claude Code using the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows developers to debug code in natural language, without leaving the conversation interface. The skill supports setting breakpoints, stepping through code, inspecting variables, and controlling execution flow for supported programming languages.
When to use it
- When encountering issues with asynchronous Python functions that aren't awaiting properly.
- To diagnose C++ segfaults and inspect pointer values at crash points.
- For debugging JavaScript Promise chains where resolution is unexpected.
- When a test case fails and you need to trace the execution path.
- When encountering general code errors and needing to step through the logic.
Key capabilities
- Natural language debugging commands (e.g., "set breakpoint at line 42").
- Support for Python (debugpy), C/C++/Rust (lldb-dap).
- Automatic intent and language detection.
- Session management with resource limits.
- Graceful error handling and recovery.
Example prompts
- "Debug this function."
- "Set a breakpoint at line 42."
- "Why is this Promise chain not resolving?"
Tips & gotchas
- Requires an external
dap-mcpserver installation (usingpip install dap-mcp). - The skill is disabled by default and requires explicit invocation or modification of the SKILL.md file to enable auto-activation.
- Debugging sessions are resource intensive and require full filesystem access, so it's best enabled only when actively debugging.
