Can I export conversations in a human-readable format?

Yes, by using the 'conversation dump --html' command, you can generate a timestamped HTML file that provides a clear, readable view of the entire interaction.

What is the benefit of using the -p flag?

The -p flag allows you to provide a direct task to the CLI without entering interactive mode, making it much easier to test specific functionality and automate verification steps.

Why should I use debug mode instead of release for CLI testing?

Debug builds via 'cargo build' are significantly faster to compile and provide better diagnostic information, which is essential for rapid iteration during the debugging process.

How does conversation cloning help with debugging?

Cloning creates a duplicate of a buggy conversation, allowing you to attempt reproduction and fixes multiple times while preserving the original state for comparison.

Developer Tools

Streamlines the debugging, testing, and extension of the Forge CLI application through systematic verification and conversation management workflows.

About

The CLI Debugger skill provides a specialized framework for developers working on the code-forge application. It establishes a rigorous workflow for building, documenting, and testing CLI commands, focusing on non-interactive verification and safe bug reproduction. By utilizing advanced features like conversation cloning and dumping, the skill allows developers to isolate issues, perform A/B testing on fixes, and analyze prompt structures without risking data integrity, ultimately ensuring a more stable and predictable CLI experience.

Key Features

Safe bug reproduction through conversation cloning and isolation
Automated debug build workflows using Cargo for faster iteration
Conversation dumping to JSON and HTML for deep prompt analysis
Non-interactive task testing using the -p flag for scriptable verification
Systematic documentation verification with command-level help checks
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Developing and verifying new CLI commands and argument parsing logic
Optimizing AI prompts by analyzing exported conversation structures
Reproducing and fixing reported bugs using isolated conversation clones
