How does it handle build errors?

It identifies missing dependencies in package.xml and CMakeLists.txt, providing the specific commands to install system dependencies via rosdep.

Can it help with multi-machine ROS setups?

Yes, it includes specialized guidance for ROS_MASTER_URI, ROS_IP, and network connectivity issues between distributed nodes.

Does it support debugging node crashes?

Absolutely. It provides configurations for debugging segmentation faults using GDB within launch files and analyzing backtraces.

What ROS versions are covered by this skill?

The skill provides diagnostic logic primarily focused on ROS 1 (Noetic/Melodic) patterns, including environment variables and master-slave communication.
