What it does

Python Debugpy is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Debug Python with pdb, breakpoint(), post-mortem inspection, and debugpy remote attach.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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 Frontend & Design, covering Responsive design and Runbooks and postmortems. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb5970. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
- rg
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

Python Debugpy loads about 633 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~633

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.

description: Debug Python with pdb, breakpoint(), post-mortem inspection, and debugpy remote attach.

Python Debugpy

Use when Python code needs interactive debugging: hidden locals, confusing state mutation, failing tests, subprocesses, long-running services, or remote/headless attach.

Pick the smallest debugger that reaches the bad frame.

Choose

breakpoint(): local code, source edits ok, fastest path.
python3 -m pdb: no source edit, launch from the beginning.
python3 -m pdb -c continue: stop at an unhandled exception.
debugpy: remote/headless process, DAP client, already-running PID, or service startup race.

Commands

bash

python3 -m pdb path/to/script.py arg1
python3 -m pdb -c continue path/to/script.py
python3 -c "import debugpy" || python3 -m pip install debugpy
python3 -m debugpy --listen 127.0.0.1:5678 --wait-for-client path/to/script.py
python3 -m debugpy --listen 127.0.0.1:5678 --wait-for-client -m package.module
python3 -m debugpy --listen 127.0.0.1:5678 --pid <pid>

For source-edit attach:

import debugpy

debugpy.listen(("127.0.0.1", 5678))
debugpy.wait_for_client()
debugpy.breakpoint()

For post-mortem:

import pdb, sys

try:
    run()
except Exception:
    pdb.post_mortem(sys.exc_info()[2])
    raise

pdb

Flow: n, s, r, c, q.
Stack/source: w, u, d, a, l, ll.
Values: p expr, pp expr, display expr.
Breakpoints: b file.py:42, b func, b file.py:42, condition, cl <num>.
Mutate/evaluate: !statement; full REPL: interact.

Rules

Reproduce with the smallest command/test first.
Disable parallel test workers for pdb; interactive stdin usually breaks inside worker pools.
Keep debugpy in the active env; do not add it as a project dependency unless the project already wants it.
Bind debug servers to 127.0.0.1; do not expose 0.0.0.0 unless isolated or tunnelled.
Use unique ports for parallel sessions.
debugpy --pid injects into a running process; confirm the target pid before attaching.
If PID attach fails on Linux, check ptrace/container privileges before changing the target.
Cleanup before commit: rg -n 'breakpoint\\(|pdb\\.set_trace|debugpy\\.' --type py.
Rerun the normal project test/gate without the debugger.
PYTHONBREAKPOINT=0 disables breakpoint().
If a process is stuck after debugger detach, confirm it is not still paused at a breakpoint.
