Skill instructions

Node.js Inspect Debugger Overview When console.log isn't enough, drive Node's built-in V8 inspector programmatically from the terminal. You get real breakpoints, step in/over/out, call-stack walking, local/closure scope dumps, and arbitrary expression evaluation in the paused frame. Two tools, pick one: - node inspect — built-in, zero install, CLI REPL. Best for quick poking. - ndb / CDP via chrome-remote-interface — scriptable from Node/Python; best when you want to automate many breakpoints, collect state across runs, or debug non-interactively from an agent loop. Prefer node inspect first. It's always available and the REPL is fast. When to Use - A Node test fails and you need to see intermediate state - ui-tui crashes or behaves wrong and you want to inspect React/Ink state pre-render - tuigateway child processes (SlashWorker, PTY bridge workers) misbehave - You need to inspect a value in a closure that console.log can't reach without patching - Perf: attach to a running process to
