How to debug JavaScript with AI
AI is great at debugging when you give it the right three things: the code, the exact error and what you expected.
Step by step
- Copy the exact error and stack trace.
- Open the Code assistant and choose Debug.
- Paste the code plus the error and expected behavior.
- Ask for the root cause before the fix; then test it.
Prompt to copy
Find the root cause first, then propose the smallest fix. Explain how to verify it.
Tips
- Include the runtime (browser, Node version).
- Ask for a minimal reproduction.
- Use Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol for gnarly async bugs.
