This covers Python debugging fundamentals with pdb, the built-in debugger that's often overlooked but incredibly powerful once you know the commands. You get breakpoint management, post-mortem debugging for inspecting crashes after they happen, and even remote debugging setup. The skill also touches on pdb++, which adds syntax highlighting and better introspection if you're tired of vanilla pdb's sparse interface. It's straightforward material, nothing groundbreaking, but if you've been print debugging your way through Python code, this will save you time. The repo has passed security audits from three providers and has 134 installs, so it's been vetted and used in the wild.
