Dbg – One CLI debugger for every language (AI-agent ready)
AI agents are great at writing code but blind at runtime. They guess, print, and waste tokens. I built dbg to give them a real debugger experience. Since it is backend based with the few I implemented (still at basic level) it can support 15+ languages with one simple CLI (still some work needed but it is functional as it is): LLDB, Delve, PDB, JDB, node inspect, rdbg, phpdbg, GHCi, etc. Profilers too (perf, pprof, cProfile, Valgrind…) I also added GPU profiling via `gdbg` (CUDA, PyTorch, Triton kernels). It auto-dispatches and shares the same unified interface. (Planning to bring those…

What it does
A universal debugger CLI that lets AI agents observe runtime state instead of guessing from source code.
One CLI. Many debuggers. Your AI agent stops guessing at runtime state and starts observing it. The bottleneck for agentic engineering is not generation. It is diagnosis. The agent reads source code, builds a theory , rewrites something, and hopes. Wrong guess? It guesses again. Five cycles of guess-and-rebuild per bug. Tokens, time, and trust — burned. The agent sets a breakpoint, steps to the crash , inspects the variable, and reads the actual value. Root cause on the first pass. One cycle. Done. The agent receives a crash report. Instead of guessing, it launches a debug session, steps to the error, and reads the state. Install the binary, point it at your agent. No configuration,…from redknightlois.github.io

Use it to accelerate your debugging workflow by leveraging the power of ChatGPT to assist you while using GDB! It allows you to explain in natural language what you want to do, and then automatically execute the relevant command. Optionally, you can ask ChatGPT to explain the command it just ran or even pass in any question for it to answer. Focus on what's important - figuring out that nasty bug instead of chasing down GDB commands at the tip of your tongue. See it here:…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
