python-debugpy

python-debugpy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from perasyudha/Nyxora. It costs 17 tokens per session (3,659 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of python-debugpy, MIT.

A set of tools for pausing and inspecting running Python programs, including local scripts and long-running processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to step through Python code, investigate failed tests, inspect exceptions, or attach to a remote process.
Why use it?
It helps you examine variables, call stacks, and program state when an error message or log does not explain the problem.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/bb/nyxora-agent/.venv/bin/activate.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

python-debugpy scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 376 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Python Debugger (pdb + debugpy)

Overview

Three tools, picked by situation:

Tool When
breakpoint() + pdb Local, interactive, simplest. Add breakpoint() in the source, run normally, get a REPL at that line.
python -m pdb Launch an existing script under pdb with no source edits. Useful for quick poking.
debugpy Remote / headless / "attach to already-running process." Talks DAP, scriptable from terminal, works for long-lived processes (gateway, daemon, PTY children).

Start with breakpoint(). It's the cheapest thing that works.

When to Use

  • A test fails and the traceback doesn't reveal why a value is wrong
  • You need to step through a function and watch a collection mutate
  • A long-running process (nyxora gateway, tui_gateway) misbehaves and you can't restart it
  • Post-mortem: an exception fired in prod-ish code and you want to inspect locals at the crash site
  • A subprocess / child (Python _SlashWorker, PTY bridge worker) is the actual bug site

Don't use for: things print() / logging.debug solve in under a minute, or things pytest -vv --tb=long --showlocals already reveals.

pdb Quick Reference

Inside any pdb prompt ((Pdb)):

Command Action
h / h cmd help
n next line (step over)
s step into
r return from current function
c continue
unt N continue until line N
j N jump to line N (same function only)
l / ll list source around current line / full function
w where (stack trace)
u / d move up / down in the stack
a print args of the current function
p expr / pp expr print / pretty-print expression
display expr auto-print expr on every stop
b file:line set breakpoint
b func break on function entry
b file:line, cond conditional breakpoint
cl N clear breakpoint N
tbreak file:line one-shot breakpoint
!stmt execute arbitrary Python (assignments included)
interact drop into full Python REPL in current scope (Ctrl+D to exit)
q quit

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

python-debugpy is a skill published in the GitHub repository perasyudha/Nyxora (5 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 3,659 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 97% identical to python-debugpy, differing in 48 lines, and is treated as a copy.
