AI for debugging

Free debugging prompts: explain an API error and whether to retry, find the step a tutorial skipped, and fix a prompt that keeps giving bad answers.

Each of these starts from evidence: an error body, a bad answer, the step where a tutorial broke. The output is a likely cause and the next thing to try, not a lecture.

Questions

What is the best free AI prompt for debugging?

It depends on what you start with. Prompt Debugger: use it when a prompt mostly works but gives the same wrong answer every few runs, and adding IMPORTANT in caps made it worse. API Error Explainer: use it when a call failed, the body is a blob, and you cannot tell whether to fix the request, fix the clock, or stop retrying. Tutorial Gap Finder: use it when a tutorial skipped the step that failed on your machine and rereading the steps you understood does not find the hole.

Are these debugging prompts really free?

Yes. All 3 are free to copy and reuse under CC BY 4.0, with no sign-up. They are plain-text prompts you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Cursor.
