FAQ
What does the debugging skill do?
Python debugging techniques, pdb, and IDE debugging tools
How do I install debugging?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-python --skill debugging in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/debugging/ (personal) or .claude/skills/debugging/ (project).
Which AI agents can use debugging?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is debugging safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
