Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install gdb-debugging-session

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent walks you through a GDB session, from compiling with debug info to conditional breakpoints and memory inspection. It also covers multithread debugging and reverse execution to replay an intermittent bug.
