This Skill enables interactive, stateful GDB debugging of the Breenix kernel, preserving session state so you can iteratively inspect, modify, and reason about kernel behavior without restarting your debugging environment.
Start a session with breenix-gdb-chat/scripts/start_session.py, then query state with breenix-gdb-chat/scripts/gdb_cmd.py and stop with breenix-gdb-chat/scripts/stop_session.py --session SESSION_ID.

GDB kernel debugging with QEMU requires setting breakpoints, inspecting registers, and viewing backtraces while the kernel runs. This Skill automates persistent GDB-QEMU sessions for the Breenix kernel, letting you trace crashes, page faults, and syscall behavior without restarting your debugging environment.
Yes. This Skill maintains stateful GDB sessions connected to QEMU, so you can send commands iteratively, inspect kernel state, set breakpoints, and examine memory without reconnecting or losing context between queries.
Serial output visibility is built in. This Skill surfaces kernel log messages alongside GDB state inspections, so you can match boot messages, interrupt handlers, and kernel events with register and memory snapshots in a single debugging workflow.
Start a persistent session with start_session.py, then query GDB state using gdb_cmd.py and receive structured JSON output. This eliminates manual GDB attachment and session lifecycle management, accelerating crash analysis and register inspection.
Yes. Send GDB commands through gdb_cmd.py to inspect registers, examine memory, view backtraces, and collect snapshots while the kernel runs. Results return as structured JSON suitable for automation and analysis.
This Skill handles remote target connection and symbol loading automatically within persistent GDB sessions. You interact through command-driven queries, eliminating manual GDB protocol configuration for Breenix kernel debugging.
