What does the Smalltalk Debugger skill do?

This skill equips Claude with a systematic workflow to debug Pharo Smalltalk code. It specializes in analyzing stack traces, inspecting object states, and applying structured error-handling patterns to efficiently find and fix bugs.

What key capabilities does it provide?

It offers a core debugging workflow, essential patterns for error handling, quick references for common Smalltalk errors like 'MessageNotUnderstood', and best practices for incremental testing and applying fixes in Tonel files. It also utilizes specific tools for code evaluation and source inspection.

When should I use this skill?

Use this skill whenever you encounter test failures, runtime errors, or unexpected behavior in Smalltalk. It's perfect for when you need to understand why code is failing, investigate a bug, or inspect an object's state at a specific point in execution.

How does this skill improve my workflow?

It provides a structured, step-by-step debugging process (identify, verify, inspect, fix) that saves time and reduces guesswork. By offering quick reference guides and best practices, it helps you resolve issues faster and write more reliable code.
