Does it affect commented-out code?

By default, the skill ignores commented lines to prevent accidental activation of unused code, though you can specifically instruct it to include comments if needed.

Does this skill modify my source code directly?

Yes, it updates setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled calls to true to enable debugging, but it saves the original code state to a local JSON file to allow for a full restoration.

Can I revert changes if I manually edited the file in the meantime?

Yes. The revert process detects if a line has been changed since the enable command was run and will prompt you for manual confirmation before attempting to restore it.

Where is the state file stored and should I commit it?

The state is stored in .android-webview-debug-state.json in your project root. It is recommended to add this file to your .gitignore to avoid committing temporary debug states.

Enables and reverts WebView remote debugging across Android projects while tracking changes for safe restoration.

This skill automates the management of WebView remote debugging in Android projects by globally toggling the setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled flag. It performs a comprehensive search of the codebase to identify debugging configurations, allowing developers to enable Chrome DevTools project-wide with a single command. To ensure safety, the skill maintains a state file that records original code values and line numbers, enabling a precise revert process that intelligently detects manual code changes and prompts for confirmation, preventing accidental regression or loss of production settings.

Key Features

01Collision detection for manual edits made during debugging sessions

02Smart classification of active code versus commented-out lines

03State tracking via .android-webview-debug-state.json for safe reverts
