LLDB CLI Skill

Use this CLI to run structured LLDB debugging workflows with JSON output.

Capabilities

• Create debug target from executable path
• Launch process or attach by pid/name
• Manage breakpoints (set/list/delete/enable/disable)
• Inspect threads, frames, locals, and backtrace
• Evaluate expressions in current frame
• Read/find process memory
• Load core dumps
• Interactive REPL with persistent session state
• Formal stdio Debug Adapter Protocol server for AI/editor clients

Quick Commands

cli-anything-lldb --json target create --exe /path/to/exe
cli-anything-lldb --json process launch --arg foo --arg bar
cli-anything-lldb --json breakpoint set --function main
cli-anything-lldb --json breakpoint set --function PluginEntry --allow-pending
cli-anything-lldb --json process continue
cli-anything-lldb --json process interrupt
cli-anything-lldb --json thread backtrace --limit 20
cli-anything-lldb --json frame locals
cli-anything-lldb --json expr "myVar"
cli-anything-lldb --json memory read --address 0x1000 --size 64
cli-anything-lldb --json session close

Debug Adapter Protocol

Use the DAP entry point when an AI client needs a real debug adapter lifecycle instead of shelling out separate CLI commands:

cli-anything-lldb-dap
cli-anything-lldb-dap --profile /path/to/stop-rules.json

or:

cli-anything-lldb dap
cli-anything-lldb dap --profile /path/to/stop-rules.json

The DAP server speaks stdio Content-Length frames and must have exclusive stdout. Do not print logs to stdout around it. Supported requests include initialize, launch, attach, configurationDone, setBreakpoints, setFunctionBreakpoints, threads, stackTrace, scopes, variables, setVariable, evaluate, continue, pause, next, stepIn, stepOut, source, loadedSources, readMemory, modules, exceptionInfo, disassemble, and disconnect.
