GDB debugging assistant for AI agents - analyze core dumps, debug live processes, investigate crashes and deadlocks with source code correlation

When to use

• Analyze core dumps or crash dumps
• Debug running processes with GDB attach
• Investigate crashes, deadlocks, or memory issues
• Get intelligent debugging assistance with source code context
• Debug multi-threaded applications

When not to use

• The task is unrelated to C/C++ debugging
• The user needs general-purpose assistance without debugging
• No GDB is available (GDB 9.0+ with Python support required)
• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
