LLM Debugger: AI-Powered Debugging in VS Code
LLM Debugger is a VS Code extension that uses large language models (LLMs) for active debugging. Unlike traditional LLM debugging approaches that only analyze static source code, LLM Debugger provides real-time runtime context, including variable values, function behavior, and branch decisions, enabling the LLM to diagnose bugs faster and more accurately. The extension also generates synthetic data by capturing execution details, offering unique insights into program behavior. It features live debugging information, automated breakpoint management, runtime inspection, and common debugging operations, all accessible through a sidebar panel. While an experimental research project, LLM Debugger demonstrates the potential of combining live debugging data with LLM capabilities to revolutionize traditional debugging practices.
