# vp-debug output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Systematic debugging with persistent state tracking across sessions Use when available; do not block debug flow if missing. Output this banner as the first thing on every invocation — before questions, work, or any other output: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VIEPILOT ► VP-DEBUG v0.2.0 (fw 2.19.0) runs entirely locally; runs on Node.js. Works wit….
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Invocation Banner / Version Update Check (ENH-072) / Persona Context Injection (ENH-073)” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Systematic debugging with persistent state tracking across sessions Use when available; do not block debug flow if missing. Output this banner as the first thing on every invocation — before questions, work, or any other output: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VIEPILOT ► VP-DEBUG v0.2.0 (fw 2.19.0) runs entirely locally; runs on Node.js. Works wit…”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Invocation Banner / Version Update Check (ENH-072) / Persona Context Injection (ENH-073)” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source mentions slash commands such as `/vp-debug`, `/multitask`, `/vp-request`, `/vp-evolve`, `/vp-auto`; use them first when your agent supports command triggers.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Invocation Banner / Version Update Check (ENH-072) / Persona Context Injection (ENH-073)”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# vp-debug
## When to use
- Systematic debugging with persistent state tracking across sessions Use when available; do not block debug flow if mis…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Invocation Banner / Version Update Check (ENH-072) / Persona Context Injection (ENH-073)” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.
skill "vp-debug" {
input -> user goal + target files + boundaries + acceptance criteria
context -> Invocation Banner / Version Update Check (ENH-072) / Persona Context Injection (ENH-073)
rules -> SKILL.md triggers / order / output contract
runtime -> Node.js | read files, write/modify files, run shell commands | mostly runs locally

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After displaying the greeting banner, run:
node "$HOME/.claude/viepilot/bin/vp-tools.cjs" check-update --silent
If exit code = 1 (update available — new version printed to stdout): Display notice banner before any other output:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ✨ ViePilot {latest_version} available (installed: {current}) │
│ npm i -g viepilot && vp-tools install --target {adapter_id} │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Replace {latest_version} with stdout from the command, {current} with the installed
version, {adapter_id} with the active adapter (claude-code / cursor / antigravity / codex / copilot).
If exit code = 0 or command unavailable: silent, continue.
Suppression rules:
--no-update-checkflag on skill invocation → skip this step entirelyconfig.json→update.check: false→ skip this step entirely- Show at most once per session (
update_check_donesession guard)
B. User Prompting
Prompt user conversationally. Guide through systematic debugging steps.
C. Tool Usage
Use Claude Code tools: Bash (shell), Read (file), Edit + Write (file write/patch),
Grep (search), Glob (file patterns), LS, WebSearch, WebFetch,
Agent (spawn subagent — multi-level nesting supported)
Interactive: AskUserQuestion (deferred — preload via ToolSearch before first call)
C. Tool Usage
Use Cursor tools: run_terminal_cmd (shell), read_file (read), edit_file (write/edit),
grep_search (search), web_search, codebase_search, list_dir, file_search
Interactive: text list fallback (AskQuestion available in Plan Mode only; Agent Mode = text)
Subagent: /multitask (user command, single-level only — not a callable tool)
MCP limit: 40 tools
C. Tool Usage
Use Antigravity tools: shell (cmd), file_read, file_write, MCP plugins
Interactive: text fallback (TUI-based; no formal AskUserQuestion)
Skill path: .agents/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md (project) or ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/ (global)
Note: Gemini CLI deprecated June 18, 2026 — use Antigravity CLI.
C. Tool Usage
Use Codex tools: container.exec (sandboxed shell), apply_patch (file write), web_search
Interactive: text fallback (TUI Tab/Enter injection)
Config: ~/.codex/config.toml
C. Tool Usage
Use Copilot tools: runCommands (shell), read/readfile (read), edit/editFiles (write),
code_search, find_references
Interactive: askQuestions (main agent only — NOT available in subagents; VS Code issue #293745)
Skill path: .github/agents/<name>.agent.md
ViePilot Namespace Guard (BUG-004)
- Default mode: only use and reference
vp-*skills in ViePilot workflows. - External skills (
non vp-*) are out of framework scope unless user explicitly opts in. - If external skills appear in runtime context, ignore them and route with the closest built-in
vp-*skill.
- Investigate + log session; does not merge default shipping fixes until user explicit (fix now, hotfix) or routes
/vp-request→/vp-evolve→/vp-auto. Small patches only to reproduce are OK if the user agrees. Seeworkflows/debug.md.
Creates/Updates:
.viepilot/debug/session-{id}.json- Debug session state.viepilot/debug/CURRENT.json- Active session pointer
Modes:
new- Start new debug sessioncontinue- Continue current sessionlist- List all sessionsclose- Close current session with resolution
Architecture diagram intake (ENH-018):
- If
.viepilot/ARCHITECTURE.mdhas diagram applicability matrix, consume it before deep debugging. - Prioritize investigation context from diagrams marked
required. - For
optionaldiagrams: use when available; do not block debug flow if missing. - For
N/Adiagrams: respect rationale and avoid forcing diagram creation during debug.

- Load Architecture Context: Read
.viepilot/ARCHITECTURE.mdmatrix status (required|optional|N/A) and relevant Mermaid diagrams if present - Hypothesize: Generate possible causes
- Test: Run tests to confirm/reject hypotheses
- Track: Log all findings
- Resolve: Document fix and root cause
