About This Skill

What it does

This skill enables debugging of applications running within Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It allows you to attach debuggers, set breakpoints, and inspect variables in your WSL environment directly from an external development tool. This simplifies troubleshooting and accelerates development workflows for projects targeting Linux environments.

When to use it

Debugging a Python script running inside a WSL container.
Troubleshooting a Node.js application deployed within WSL.
Analyzing the behavior of a C++ program compiled and executed in WSL.
Stepping through code during development across Windows and Linux environments.

Key capabilities

Attaches debuggers to WSL processes.
Supports setting breakpoints within WSL applications.
Allows inspection of variables and memory within WSL.
Facilitates debugging from external development tools.

Example prompts

"Attach the debugger to the my_app process running in WSL."
"Set a breakpoint at line 25 in /home/user/project/main.py inside WSL."
"Inspect the value of the 'data' variable within the WSL application."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have a compatible debugger configured on your Windows host machine.
The skill requires WSL to be properly installed and configured.
