Stateful LLDB debugging via LLDB Python API. An agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything.

  • Tasks that involve Debugging
  • SKILL.md covers Capabilities, Quick Commands, Debug Adapter Protocol and Command Groups, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Responsive design

What it does

CLI Anything Lldb is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Stateful LLDB debugging via LLDB Python API

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Debugging and Responsive design. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging
  • Tasks that involve Responsive design

Example prompts

  • “/cli-anything-lldb”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CLI Anything Lldb loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

LLDB CLI Skill

Use this CLI to run structured LLDB debugging workflows with JSON output.

Capabilities

  • Create debug target from executable path
  • Launch process or attach by pid/name
  • Manage breakpoints (set/list/delete/enable/disable)
  • Inspect threads, frames, locals, and backtrace
  • Evaluate expressions in current frame
  • Read/find process memory
  • Load core dumps
  • Interactive REPL with persistent session state
  • Formal stdio Debug Adapter Protocol server for AI/editor clients

Quick Commands

bash
cli-anything-lldb --json target create --exe /path/to/exe
cli-anything-lldb --json process launch --arg foo --arg bar
cli-anything-lldb --json breakpoint set --function main
cli-anything-lldb --json breakpoint set --function PluginEntry --allow-pending
cli-anything-lldb --json process continue
cli-anything-lldb --json process interrupt
cli-anything-lldb --json thread backtrace --limit 20
cli-anything-lldb --json frame locals
cli-anything-lldb --json expr "myVar"
cli-anything-lldb --json memory read --address 0x1000 --size 64
cli-anything-lldb --json session close

Debug Adapter Protocol

Use the DAP entry point when an AI client needs a real debug adapter lifecycle instead of shelling out separate CLI commands:

bash
cli-anything-lldb-dap
cli-anything-lldb-dap --profile /path/to/stop-rules.json

or:

bash
cli-anything-lldb dap
cli-anything-lldb dap --profile /path/to/stop-rules.json

The DAP server speaks stdio Content-Length frames and must have exclusive stdout. Do not print logs to stdout around it. Supported requests include initialize, launch, attach, configurationDone, setBreakpoints, setFunctionBreakpoints, threads, stackTrace, scopes, variables, setVariable, evaluate, continue, pause, next, stepIn, stepOut, source, loadedSources, readMemory, modules, exceptionInfo, disassemble, and disconnect.

DAP variables can expose child references for structs/classes/arrays. Use setVariable only while stopped; LLDB may reject writes to optimized-out or read-only values.

For long-running GUI debuggees, DAP continue is non-blocking from the client's point of view: the adapter sends the response and continued event first, then waits for LLDB on a background thread. DAP pause uses LLDB async interrupt. If an agent needs to change breakpoints while the debuggee is running, the adapter interrupts first and waits for a stopped state before mutating LLDB breakpoints; if the target does not stop in time, retry after an explicit pause/stopped cycle.

For GUI apps that stop on debugger-internal startup or shader-JIT breakpoints, launch and attach accept the non-standard boolean argument autoContinueInternalBreakpoints. Enable it only when those internal stops are noise for the task; the adapter emits an output event before auto-continuing. For target-specific noise, prefer structured stop rules through inline stopRules or an external stopRuleProfile/--profile JSON file. Rules can match by reason, module, function, and/or regex, then either stop with clear cliAnythingStop.origin metadata or continue automatically. Use profiles for apps such as C4D so their NVIDIA shader-JIT/startup traps live outside the generic adapter.

DAP stopped events include body.cliAnythingStop.origin: manualPause for a client pause request, internalTrap for a matched internal rule, and debuggee for ordinary program stops. Existing cli-anything-lldb-dap processes do not hot-load new code or profile contents; restart the adapter and re-attach or re-launch before expecting new rules to apply.

Agent Usage Notes

  • Prefer --json for all automated flows.
  • Separate non-REPL invocations share a persistent session daemon by default.
  • Use --session-file PATH or CLI_ANYTHING_LLDB_SESSION_FILE to pin an explicit session for a task.
  • Run cli-anything-lldb --json session close when finished so attached processes detach and launched debuggees are cleaned up.
  • Use REPL when a human-like interactive shell is more convenient, not because persistence requires it.
  • Unresolved CLI breakpoints fail by default; pass --allow-pending only when a future module/symbol load is expected.
  • DAP unresolved breakpoints use protocol semantics: verified: false until resolved.
  • DAP continue is non-blocking for long-running GUI processes, and DAP pause uses async interrupt.
  • DAP breakpoint changes during an active continue first interrupt and wait for a stopped state before mutating LLDB.
  • Use DAP stop-rule profiles for app-specific internal traps; restart and re-attach/re-launch after profile changes.
  • memory find uses a chunked scan capped at 1 MiB per call.
  • Call target create before process or core commands.
  • Expect structured errors: {"error": "...", "type": "..."}
