What this skill does
Debug Holoscan CLI commands Purpose Turn one concrete CLI failure into a minimally fixed, reproducible passing command with focused regression proof. Inputs Required, from the user's report or the affected checkout: the affected user-provided holoscan-applications checkout or standalone Module repository; one exact failing, hanging, regressed, or semantically wrong holoscan command; expected and observed results, relevant inputs, and the point where progress stops; the runtime needed to reproduce the command. Optional: existing logs and a known-good revision or environment for comparison. Route non-failing Module work to holoscan-module-lifecycle and first-time SDK installation to holoscan-setup. If the matching skill is unavailable, preserve the handoff context and name the skill to install. Non-failing application work is outside this skill; follow the checkout's README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and docs/ci.md instead. Do not manufacture a failure. Prerequisites Always read the Holoscan CLI contract. Read Holoscan CLI configuration when the CLI environment, base image, SDK selection, or project settings are involved. Read the debug workflow for layer classification, observability, hypothesis testing, cleanup, and proof. Read only the relevant section of version-sensitive diagnostic priors. If a referenced file is unavailable, report the missing reference rather than proceeding without its guidance. The affected checkout's README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and docs/ci.md, or a generated Module's own guidance, plus local help, exact reproduction, schemas, and source are the live technical authority where they do not conflict with user, system, or safety constraints. Instructions If the request is planning-only or forbids execution, do not begin the steps below. Return only the proposed diagnostic order, evidence, approval boundaries, and proof requirements; do not run commands or change files, caches, artifacts, privileges, or environments. 1. Freeze the reproduction. …
