Copilot CLI has mastered tools all most all tools but "pdb". Is it possible to convert pdb into a skill to be used with copilot CLI? This would be so useful when I paste an error screenshot to copilot.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Python debugging environment and the repository's entry points for tools or skills; the issue names no file or test. Determine how a pdb capability would be exposed through Copilot CLI and how screenshot-based errors fit the request. Done would be a working, documented pdb skill with coverage for the requested debugging workflow.
