AHK v2 Debug Dashboard
Display a compact overview of the current debugging session state.
Usage
/ahk-debug-dashboard — queries all debug state and displays a dashboard.
Data Sources
Query these MCP tools in sequence:
debug_status — connection state and current position
breakpoint_list — all active breakpoints
variables_get(context: 0) — local scope variables
variables_get(context: 1) — global scope variables
stack_trace — current call stack
watch_list — active watch expressions
Dashboard Template
─ DEBUG DASHBOARD ────────────────────────────────────────
**Status:** running | break | stopped
**Position:** script.ahk:42 — `MyClass.DoWork()`
─ CALL STACK ─────────────────────────────────────────────
0: MyClass.DoWork() script.ahk:42
1: MyClass.__New() script.ahk:15
2: {main} script.ahk:98
─ BREAKPOINTS ────────────────────────────────────────────
#1: script.ahk:42 (active)
#2: script.ahk:67 (active, condition: x > 5)
─ LOCAL VARIABLES ────────────────────────────────────────
this = MyClass{gui, data}
x = 42
name = "hello"
─ WATCHES ────────────────────────────────────────────────
this.data.Count = 3 (changed: was 2)
x = 42 (unchanged)
─ GLOBAL VARIABLES ───────────────────────────────────────
A_ScriptDir = "<project directory>"
A_TickCount = 1234567
Error States
No connection: "Debugger not connected. Start AHK with /Debug flag."
Session ended: "Debug session ended. Re-run script with /Debug to restart."
MCP unavailable: "autohotkey-debug MCP server not running."
Workflow
Check debug_status first — if not connected, show connection instructions
If connected and at a breakpoint, query all other tools
If running (not at break), show status only — variables/stack not available
Format into compact dashboard
Highlight any watched variables that changed since last step
Rules
Always check connection status before querying other tools
Show locals before globals (locals are more relevant during debugging)
Truncate long variable values to 80 characters
For object/array variables, show type and count instead of full contents
Use (changed) marker on watches that differ from previous value
