Agent Skills: smalltalk-debugger

Systematic debugging guide for Smalltalk (Pharo/Squeak) development. Provides expertise in error diagnosis (MessageNotUnderstood, KeyNotFound, SubscriptOutOfBounds, AssertionFailure), incremental code execution with eval tool, intermediate value inspection, error handling patterns (`on:do:` blocks), stack trace analysis, UI debugger window detection (read_screen for hung operations), Transcript logging (crShow:, ##DEBUG## prefix, format strings, call-site tracing with thisContext, headless output via NonInteractiveTranscript on Pharo), and debug-fix-reimport workflow. Use when encountering Smalltalk test failures, Smalltalk exceptions, unexpected behavior, timeout or non-responsive operations, need to verify intermediate values, execute code incrementally for diagnosis, troubleshoot Tonel import errors, add debug logging to trace variable values or call sites, or redirect Transcript output in headless/Docker images.
