Is it possible to pause execution at a specific line?

Absolutely. You can use the `-c 'until X'` command, where X is the line number, to run the debugger up to that specific point in your code.

What are the benefits of using pdb over print statements?

Using the pdb debugger allows you to inspect the entire stack trace and all variable values at any point in time without modifying your source code.

Can I run a script until it hits an error?

Yes, the skill supports the `-c continue` flag, which allows the script to run normally until it encounters an unhandled exception.

How do I start debugging a Python script with this skill?

You can initiate a debug session by asking Claude to run the script under pdb using the command `python -m pdb [script_name]`.

開発者ツール

Inspects and troubleshoots Python execution flow by stepping through functions and variable states with the pdb debugger.

概要

The Python Debugger skill streamlines the process of troubleshooting Python scripts by integrating advanced pdb capabilities directly into Claude's workflow. It allows developers to go beyond simple print-statement debugging by providing precise control over program execution, including the ability to step through functions, run until specific lines, and inspect the complete runtime state when exceptions occur. This skill is essential for diagnosing complex logic bugs and understanding internal execution flow in any Python environment.
