Java Debugger (JDB) Skill

Debug Java applications interactively using the JDK's built-in command-line debugger.

Critical Rules for Agents

1. NEVER create files in the workspace (no bp.txt, cmds.txt, wrapper scripts, etc.). Use the inline CLI flags (--bp, --cmd, --auto-inspect, --timeout) provided by the skill scripts.
2. ALWAYS use the skill scripts in scripts/. Never write custom JDB wrapper scripts, FIFO-based launchers, or shell scripts to drive JDB.
3. Compile first, then debug. Ensure classes are compiled before launching JDB.
4. On Windows, invoke scripts via WSL: wsl bash scripts/<script>.sh

Platform Support
