AI agents lack runtime debugger access, wasting tokens on guesswork
AI coding agents can write code but have no visibility into runtime state, forcing them to rely on print statements and token-expensive guess-and-check cycles. A unified CLI debugger bridging LLDB, Delve, PDB and others could give agents structured runtime introspection. The problem is real but this post is a solution pitch rather than documented user pain.
