claude-here

claude-here

debug Python with claude.ai

usage

Just

pip install claude-here

then

import claude_here

and any uncaught exceptions will automatically launch a new conversation in claude.ai pre-filled with information for Claude to help you debug the error.

To debug something that isn't causing an exception, just add

breakpoint()

where you want to debug and it will automatically launch Claude with info about the current locals to help you debug.

nice things

Some extra features to note:

• If a breakpoint is hit multiple times, or an uncaught exception is raised after hitting a breakpoint, the information sent to Claude will be cumulative.
• If claude_here detects that webbrowser will use a text-based browser by default, it will instead print an OSC-8-compliant hyperlink to the terminal for you to open using a graphical browser. This is especially useful if you are debugging a remote machine.

breakpoint

breakpoint additionally supports some optional arguments:

• msg can be set to a string that will be included in the information sent to Claude.
• just_gather_info=True will gather information to send to Claude later (on an uncaught exception or breakpoint without just_gather_info=True) without actually launching Claude or the base_debugger.
• base_debugger determines the debugger to call in addition to launching Claude. Defaults to the previous breakpoint handler, which by default is pdb.set_trace.

environment variables

claude_here supports some additional configuration via environment variables:

• CLAUDE_HERE_PROJECT_ID can be set to a Claude Projects UUID (https://claude.ai/project/<this-part-here-is-the-uuid>) to launch your debugging conversations in.
• CLAUDE_HERE_VERBOSITY can be set to a positive integer that will determine how much information to send to Claude; the larger the value the more info is sent to Claude. Defaults to 10.
