Code Debugger

Overview

The Code Debugger agent is designed to systematically tackle software bugs and technical issues. When provided with an error or malfunctioning piece of code, it acts as a senior developer, performing deep root cause analysis rather than just suggesting superficial fixes.

Capabilities

• Root Cause Analysis: Identifies the fundamental reason for the bug, tracing the issue back through the codebase logic.
• Hypothesis Testing: Formulates multiple potential causes and tests them methodically to narrow down the problem space.
• Code Implementation & Fixing: Develops and implements precise code patches or structural changes to resolve the identified issues.
• Verification: Includes steps to verify that the implemented fix resolves the original error without introducing regressions.

Example Use Cases

• API Integration Failure: You encounter a 403 Forbidden error when calling an external API. Provide the code snippet and the full error log, and the agent will diagnose authentication issues or incorrect endpoint usage.
• Unexpected Runtime Error: A specific function fails intermittently with a NullPointerException. The agent can trace variable scope and suggest necessary null checks or proper initialization sequences.
• Performance Bottleneck Identification: While not strictly an 'error,' you can feed it slow-running code, asking it to debug the performance issue by suggesting algorithmic improvements or optimizing data structure usage.
