tilelang-ascend: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/tilelang-custom-skill/tilelang-debug-helper/SKILL.md

tilelang-debug-helper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tile-ai/tilelang-ascend. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,653 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for making TileLang Ascend example operators easier to debug with GDB and VS Code. GDB is a debugger that lets developers pause a running program and inspect its execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding process-wait code, preserving C++ debugging information, and configuring joint Python and C++ debugging for breakpoints and variable inspection.
Why use it?
It reduces the setup work needed to connect Python code, generated C++ code, and a debugger when an operator behaves incorrectly.

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

tilelang-debug-helper 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 7d 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.

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

TileLang Debug Helper

This skill helps you add debugging capabilities to TileLang Ascend example operators so they can be debugged with GDB in VSCode.

Overview

Debugging TileLang examples involves three main components:

  1. Python Debug Code: Add PID printing and wait logic to Python examples
  2. C++ Debug Build: Configure CMakeLists.txt to preserve debug symbols
  3. VSCode Configuration: Set up joint Python + C++ debugging environment

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User asks to "debug" or "add debugging code" to a TileLang example
  • User mentions GDB, breakpoints, or VSCode debugging
  • User wants to step through C++ code in a TileLang operator
  • User needs to inspect variables or execution flow in a TileLang kernel
  • User wants to set up the complete debugging environment

Part 1: Adding Debug Code to Python Examples

Understanding the Task

When a user wants to debug a TileLang example, they need to:

  1. Add code to print the process ID (PID)
  2. Add code to wait for GDB attachment
  3. This allows attaching a GDB debugger to the running Python process

Step 1: Read the Original Example

First, read the example file that needs debugging. These are typically located in the examples/ directory and end with .py.

Step 2: Identify the Right Location

Find the best place to insert the debugging code. Look for:

  • After imports and before the main test execution
  • Before the function is called with @tilelang.jit
  • After torch.manual_seed() if present
  • Before the test loop starts

The goal is to pause execution before the actual kernel runs, so GDB can be attached.

Step 3: Add Debug Code

Insert a small PID-printing + input() wait snippet before kernel execution. Snippet, complete file example, and 3 common patterns (single test / multi-config / multi-function) see examples/python-debug-code.md.

Step 4: Save the Debug Version

Save the modified file. Common naming conventions:

  • Add _debug suffix: sigmoid_debug.py
  • Or keep the original name if replacing it

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

tilelang-debug-helper is a skill published in the GitHub repository tile-ai/tilelang-ascend (363 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 1,653 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
