Debug Adapter Protocol Skill
Overview
Expert skill for implementing Debug Adapter Protocol for debugger integration.
Capabilities
- Implement DAP message handling
- Implement breakpoint management (line, conditional, function)
- Implement stepping (step in/out/over, continue)
- Implement stack trace retrieval
- Implement variable inspection and watch expressions
- Implement expression evaluation in debug context
- Handle launch vs attach configurations
- Implement exception breakpoints
- Support multi-threaded debugging
Target Processes
- debugger-adapter-development.js
- lsp-server-implementation.js
- interpreter-implementation.js
- bytecode-vm-implementation.js
Dependencies
- DAP specification
- vscode-debugadapter libraries
Usage Guidelines
- Message Handling: Implement robust JSON message parsing and validation
- Breakpoints: Support line, conditional, and function breakpoints
- Stepping: Implement all stepping modes with correct semantics
- Variables: Implement lazy variable expansion for performance
- Evaluation: Support expression evaluation in stopped state

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
