pdb-database

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact directly with Python debugging databases, allowing them to inspect breakpoints, variables, and call stacks during runtime. It bridges the gap between code execution and deep diagnostic analysis within the Python ecosystem.

When to use it

• Debugging complex logic errors where standard print statements are insufficient.
• Inspecting variable states at specific breakpoints in a running script.
• Analyzing call stacks to trace the origin of unexpected exceptions.
• Reviewing local and global scopes during an active debugging session.

Key capabilities

• Access to Python debugger (pdb) database structures.
• Inspection of current execution context and frame information.
• Retrieval of variable values and object states at pause points.
• Navigation through call stack frames for root cause analysis.

Example prompts

• "Show me the value of user_data in the current frame."
• "List all variables defined in the global scope right now."
• "Trace back through the call stack to find where this exception originated."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your target Python script is running with the debugger attached before querying for state information. This skill relies on active breakpoints; it cannot inspect a program that has already finished execution unless specific history data is preserved.
