The Art of Debugging is an evolving open book that teaches systematic methods for finding and understanding difficult software problems. It focuses on both rapid diagnosis of common failures and strategies that make complicated bugs tractable. The repository combines methodology chapters with practical copy-and-paste recipes and tool recommendations. Dedicated material covers Unix debugging utilities, compiled programs, Python applications, and PyTorch workloads. Topics include tools such as strace, GDB, ldd, nm, profiling utilities, memory investigation, and performance analysis. The content is organized as a practical reference rather than a conventional programming library. PDF and EPUB editions are available, and a companion skill file adapts the debugging methodology for AI coding agents.
