Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • No 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned apsp-ag/agent-skills at 0753955c83.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

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.
