## Quick Reference

### Error Type Classification

System supports comprehensive error type categorization:

- Syntax Errors: SYNTAX - Syntax and indentation issues
- Import Errors: IMPORT - Module import and dependency issues
- Runtime Errors: RUNTIME - General runtime exceptions
- Type Errors: TYPE_ERROR - Data type mismatches
- Value Errors: VALUE_ERROR - Invalid value conversions
- Attribute Errors: ATTRIBUTE_ERROR - Object attribute access issues
- Key Errors: KEY_ERROR - Dictionary key access issues
- Network Errors: NETWORK - Connection and timeout issues
- Database Errors: DATABASE - SQL and database operation issues
- Memory Errors: MEMORY - Memory allocation and heap issues
- Concurrency Errors: CONCURRENCY - Thread and locking issues
- Unknown Errors: UNKNOWN - Uncategorized or novel errors

### Data Structures

Core data classes for error analysis:

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from enum import Enum

class ErrorType(Enum):
    """Classification of error types for intelligent handling."""
    SYNTAX = "syntax_error"
    RUNTIME = "runtime_error"
    IMPORT = "import_error"
    TYPE_ERROR = "type_error"
    VALUE_ERROR = "value_error"
    ATTRIBUTE_ERROR = "attribute_error"
    KEY_ERROR = "key_error"
    NETWORK = "network_error"
    DATABASE = "database_error"
    MEMORY = "memory_error"
    CONCURRENCY = "concurrency_error"
    UNKNOWN = "unknown_error"

@dataclass
class ErrorAnalysis:
    """Analysis of an error with classification and metadata."""
    type: ErrorType
    confidence: float
    message: str
    traceback: str
    context: Dict[str, Any]
    frequency: int
    severity: str  # "low", "medium", "high", "critical"
    likely_causes: List[str]
    suggested_fixes: List[str]

@dataclass
class Solution:
    """Proposed solution for an error."""
    type: str  # "context7_pattern", "ai_generated", "known_fix"
    description: str
    code_example: str
    confidence: float
    impact: str  # "low", "medium", "high"
    dependencies: List[str]

@dataclass
class DebugAnalysis:
    """Complete debug analysis with solutions and prevention strategies."""
    error_type: ErrorType
    confidence: float
    context7_patterns: Dict[str, Any]
    solutions: List[Solution]
    prevention_strategies: List[str]
    related_errors: List[str]
    estimated_fix_time: str
```

### Basic Usage Pattern

Standard debugging workflow implementation:

```python
debugger = AIDebugger(context7_client=context7)

try:
    result = some_risky_operation()
except Exception as e:
    analysis = await debugger.debug_with_context7_patterns(
        e,
        {'file': __file__, 'function': 'some_risky_operation', 'language': 'python'},
        '/project/src'
    )

    print(f"Error type: {analysis.error_type}")
    print(f"Confidence: {analysis.confidence}")
    print(f"Solutions found: {len(analysis.solutions)}")

    for i, solution in enumerate(analysis.solutions, 1):
        print(f"\nSolution {i}:")
        print(f" Description: {solution.description}")
        print(f" Confidence: {solution.confidence}")
        print(f" Impact: {solution.impact}")
        if solution.code_example:
            print(f" Example:\n{solution.code_example}")
```

## Implementation Guide

### Module Structure

The AI debugging system is organized into progressive modules:

Main Module (Current File): Overview and quick reference with data structures and usage patterns

Core Implementation: [debugging-workflows.md](./debugging/debugging-workflows.md) - Complete AIDebugger class with initialization, error patterns, main debugging method, error classification, Context7 integration, and learning extensions

Advanced Analysis: [error-analysis.md](./debugging/error-analysis.md) - Pattern matching, solution generation, code examples, severity assessment, prevention strategies, fix time estimation, and statistics tracking

### Core Implementation Workflow

Complete AIDebugger class implementation with Context7 integration:

Step 1: Initialize debugger with Context7 client and load error patterns database

Step 2: Classify error using AI-enhanced pattern recognition with context awareness

Step 3: Retrieve Context7 patterns for latest debugging documentation and best practices

Step 4: Match error against known patterns using regex matching and solution lookup

Step 5: Generate comprehensive solutions from patterns, Context7, and AI sources

Step 6: Suggest prevention strategies and estimate fix time based on error complexity

### Error Classification Process

Multi-heuristic error classification using three analysis layers:

Layer 1 - Direct Type Mapping: Maps standard Python exceptions to ErrorType categories using direct type name matching

Layer 2 - Message Pattern Analysis: Analyzes error message content for network, database, memory, and concurrency keywords

Layer 3 - Context-Based Classification: Uses operation context from provided metadata for enhanced accuracy

### Context7 Integration Pattern

Automatic documentation retrieval for debugging patterns:

Build Context7 Queries: Construct queries based on error type, language, and framework context

Retrieve Documentation: Fetch latest debugging patterns from Context7 with intelligent caching

Apply Best Practices: Integrate official documentation solutions into analysis results

### Solution Generation Strategy

Multi-source solution generation with confidence scoring:

Pattern-Based Solutions: High-confidence solutions from known error patterns with code examples

Context7 Solutions: Latest best practices from official documentation with moderate confidence

AI-Generated Solutions: Fallback AI-generated solutions when limited patterns available

Prioritization: Solutions sorted by confidence and impact with top 5 recommendations returned
