debug-live Skill
Guides root-cause investigations with debugging capabilities by setting breakpoints, starting a debug session, stepping through execution, inspecting variables, and tracing symptoms back to their origin. Prefer it for runtime bugs, failing tests, exceptions, crashes, hangs, wrong/null values, and unexpected output when Published by microsoft in DebugMCP.

Skill instructions
DebugMCP — Interactive Debugging Skill This skill teaches an agent how to use the DebugMCP MCP server effectively. The MCP server itself exposes only tools (with brief, behavioral descriptions); the workflow, root cause analysis framework, and language-specific guidance live here. The allowed-tools list above uses the tool names registered by the DebugMCP MCP server. Some runtimes namespace MCP tools (e.g. mcpdebugmcpstartdebugging); adapt as needed. --- When to invoke this skill Invoke this skill as the first investigation step whenever you would otherwise guess at runtime behavior: - Any reported bug, failing test, exception, or unexpected output. - A variable holds an unexpected null / undefined / wrong type / wrong value. - A function returns something the caller didn't expect. - A code path executes (or fails to execute) when you didn't predict it would. - You're about to read a large amount of code "trying to figure out what happens at runtime." --- Core workflow 1.
