zig-debugging
Use when a Zig program panics, returns an error trace, or needs stepping in GDB or LLDB, print or std.log tracing, or a comptime value printed. Not for compiler flags: use zig-compiler.

# Zig debugging
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The user shows a Zig panic or error return trace, wants to step through a Zig binary in GDB or LLDB, needs print or log tracing, or wants to inspect a comptime value. |
| Authority | Read-only. The skill emits build commands, debugger commands, and readings to chat; the user runs them. Rollback is not needed. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Chat output; scratch builds and debugger sessions in a scratch directory. |
| Done | The panic or trace is mapped to the source line it names, or the debugger session reaches the requested breakpoint with locals visible, confirmed on the installed Zig and debugger. |
## Inputs
- Zig version from `zig version` and the debugger available (`gdb`, `lldb`): required. Samples ran on Zig 0.14.1 with GDB and LLDB.
