name: neuraldebug description: AI-powered debugging for software (8 languages) and LLM/transformer reasoning. Debug programs with natural language via real debuggers (GDB, LLDB, CDB, JDB, Delve, Node Inspector, rdbg). Debug LLM internals with Logit Lens, Attention Analysis, Probing, Activation Patching, and LoRA fine-tuning.

NeuralDebug

AI-powered debugging framework for software and LLM reasoning. Part of the DeepRhapsody project.

Use this skill when asked to debug a program, diagnose a crash, analyze a core dump, inspect LLM reasoning, detect hallucinations, or fine-tune a model.

What NeuralDebug Does

🔧 Software Debugging (8 Languages)

Debug Python, C/C++, C#, Rust, Java, Go, Node.js/TypeScript, and Ruby using real debuggers — not code reading. NeuralDebug drives GDB, LLDB, CDB, JDB, Delve, Node Inspector, and rdbg via a unified natural-language interface.

🧠 LLM Debugging

Step through transformer forward passes layer by layer. Run interpretability techniques to understand *why* a model produces a given output: Logit Lens, Attention Analysis, Probing, Activation Patching, and custom analysis sandboxes.

🎯 LLM Fine-Tuning

Inject missing knowledge into GPT-2 family models using LoRA. Diagnose → fine-tune → verify in a single workflow.

Installation

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/DennySun2020/DeepRhapsody.git
cd DeepRhapsody
Install Python dependencies
pip install torch transformers
For fine-tuning (optional)
pip install peft==0.7.1

Quick Start: Software Debugging

Interactive Mode (persistent debug session)

# Start debug server for any supported language
python src/NeuralDebug/python_debug_session.py serve --port 5678
Send commands via natural language
python src/NeuralDebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 launch my_script.py
python src/NeuralDebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 set_breakpoint 42
python src/NeuralDebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 continue
python src/NeuralDebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 inspect

One-Shot Mode (quick breakpoint capture)

python src/NeuralDebug/python_debugger.py debug my_script.py --breakpoint 42 --output result.json

Supported Languages

| Language | Script | Backend | |----------|--------|---------| | Python | python_debug_session.py | bdb (stdlib) | | C/C++ | cpp_debug_session.py | GDB, LLDB, or CDB | | C# | csharp_debug_session.py | netcoredbg | | Rust | rust_debug_session.py | rust-gdb / LLDB | | Java | java_debug_session.py | JDB | | Go | go_debug_session.py | Delve | | Node.js/TS | nodejs_debug_session.py | Node Inspector | | Ruby | ruby_debug_session.py | rdbg |

All scripts live in src/NeuralDebug/ and share the same command interface.

Quick Start: LLM Debugging

# Start LLM debug server
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py serve -m gpt2-medium -p 5680
Ask the model a question
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 start "The capital of Japan is"
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 generate 20
Interpretability: where does the answer emerge?
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 logit_lens
Interpretability: which attention heads focus on "Japan"?
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 attention 3
Interpretability: what knowledge is encoded per layer?
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 probe next_token
Interpretability: is prediction Japan-specific?
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 patch "The capital of France is"

LLM Models Supported

Any HuggingFace causal LM with a built-in adapter:

GPT-2 family: distilgpt2, gpt2, gpt2-medium, gpt2-large, gpt2-xl

Llama family: Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek

Custom models: implement ModelAdapter and register

Quick Start: LLM Fine-Tuning

# Create a config file (JSON)
cat > ft_config.json << 'EOF'
{
  "facts": [
    "Dr. Elena Vasquez is the director of Horizon Research Labs",
    "Dr. Elena Vasquez leads Horizon Research Labs"
  ],
  "verification_prompt": "Dr. Elena Vasquez is the director of",
  "expected_token": "Horizon",
  "config": { "num_steps": 150, "lora_r": 16, "lora_alpha": 32, "learning_rate": 2e-4 }
}
EOF
Run fine-tuning (uses same server as LLM debugger)
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 -t 600 finetune ft_config.json
Verify
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 start "Dr. Elena Vasquez is the director of"
python src/NeuralDebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 generate 20

Architecture

NeuralDebug uses a client-server architecture over TCP/JSON:

AI Agent (OpenClaw, Copilot, Claude, etc.)
    │
    ▼
Debug Session Script (TCP client)
    │
    ▼
NeuralDebug Server (TCP server on configurable port)
    │
    ▼
Real Debugger Backend (GDB/LLDB/CDB/PyTorch hooks/etc.)

Every command returns structured JSON — parseable by any AI agent.

Platform Support

Windows (CDB, Visual Studio debugger)

Linux (GDB, LLDB)

macOS (LLDB, GDB)
