name: memory-debug description: Inspect, patch, and validate C64 memory safely.

Intent

Use this skill for RAM inspection, screen reads, polling for output, and carefully scoped memory writes.

Inputs

• Address range or text pattern to inspect.
• Whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
• Any expectation about program state before or after the change.

Execution

1. For direct memory inspection, use c64_memory with op: "read".
2. For screen output, use c64_memory with op: "read_screen".
3. For polling, use c64_memory with op: "wait_for_text".
4. For writes, use c64_memory with op: "write" only after confirming the target range and side effects.

Validation

1. Re-read the same memory range after every write.
2. Summarize the before and after state when patching memory.

Safety

• Warn before writes in I/O or ROM-adjacent regions.
• Use pause and resume workflows when live execution makes writes risky.
