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. Client-server architecture works with any AI agent.

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
python3 -m pip install torch transformers

# For fine-tuning (optional)
python3 -m pip install peft==0.7.1

Quick Start: Software Debugging

Interactive Mode (persistent debug session)

# Start debug server for a target script
python3 src/neuraldebug/python_debug_session.py serve my_script.py --port 5678

# Send commands
python3 src/neuraldebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 start
python3 src/neuraldebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 set_breakpoint 42
python3 src/neuraldebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 continue
python3 src/neuraldebug/python_debug_session.py cmd -p 5678 inspect

One-Shot Mode (quick breakpoint capture)

python3 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
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py serve -m gpt2-medium -p 5680

# Ask the model a question
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 start "The capital of Japan is"
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 generate 20

# Interpretability: where does the answer emerge?
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 logit_lens

# Interpretability: which attention heads focus on "Japan"?
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 attention 3

# Interpretability: what knowledge is encoded per layer?
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 probe next_token

# Interpretability: is prediction Japan-specific?
python3 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)
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 -t 600 finetune ft_config.json

# Verify
python3 src/neuraldebug/llm/llm_debug_session.py cmd -p 5680 start "Dr. Elena Vasquez is the director of"
python3 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)
