--- title: 'The Collaborative Dance of AI Debugging: A Chisel-Strike Blueprint' permalink: /futureproof/ai-debugging-chisel-strike-blueprint/ description: This entry perfectly encapsulates the iterative and resilient nature of development in the Age of AI. What impressed me most was the human's unwavering commitment to detailed debugging and the systematic 'binary search' approach. It highlights how AI, even when making errors, can be guided as a powerful tool for rapid prototyping and problem-solving, provided the human maintains strong agency and a foundational understanding of the underlying systems. The emphasis on idempotency and a stable Nix environment transformed what could have been a frustrating ordeal into a highly productive and instructive methodology blueprint. meta_description: Explore a technical journey through AI-assisted debugging, from initial plan to solving intricate Python errors, highlighting idempotent design, human-AI collaboration, and prompt engineering. meta_keywords: AI debugging, idempotent processing, Python errors, prompt engineering, Gemini AI, pandas dataframe, collaborative development, technical workflow, AI content architect layout: post sort_order: 7 --- ## Setting the Stage: Context for the Curious Book Reader Welcome to an important entry in our ongoing exploration of AI-powered workflows. This piece captures a dynamic, real-time debugging session—a true “Jiu-Jitsu” grappling match between a human orchestrator and an AI assistant. It delves into the granular process of building a robust, idempotent AI auditing function for web pages, tackling everything from syntax errors and AI safety filters to subtle Python object method nuances. More than just a bug fix, this narrative is a profound treatise on the collaborative methodology itself, emphasizing human oversight, iterative “chisel-strikes,” and the power of a stable development environment. Follow along to witness the intricate dance of problem-solving at the cutting edge of AI-driven development, a truly important point to know in the Age of AI. --- ## Technical Journal Entry Begins Okay take a look at FAQuilizer one more time. It hits an AI for each X of Y. We are about to do something similar. There are lessons to be learned from FAQuilizer but don't copy the implementation directly. We just need to think about similar things. First, we will be running a query against every row of the DataFrame and we will be feeding everything to the AI that we've bothered to put in the DataFrame. There is no reason to have it in the DataFrame unless it was actually intended to be looked at. This is the minimum number of fields to look at in the SEO audit and DOESN'T take into account the Social Media fields, Structured Data or the hero image for the page. There will be a version of this forthcoming which does, so we want to think in terms of the easy ability to add columns as we get to them. Likely through the rest of the week, but we must put this deliverable in the can ASAP so I only mention this now so that the implementation will accommodate that later. We need to decide HOW MANY columns the AI will be providing information on. We will need: - AI Selected Keyword: The single most likely keyword (word combo) the page appears to be targeting, often the title tag minus the brand but is the thing that's most in-common across multiple fields prioritizing the title tag highest and limited to 2 to 5 words. - AI Score: On a scale of 1 to 5 with 4 being the best, how well the AI Selected Keyword is used across the multiple fields. If the "cross-hairs" are aligned well, such as it appears in the title tag, headlines, URL and elsewhere in the body-copy the it would score a 5. If the AI selected keyword only appears once elsewhere, it would score a 1. - Keyword Rationale: State in extremely brief terms the rationale of someone who would be searching on this keyword, especially whether it is an Informational, Commercial, Navigational, or Transactional type search. So that's going to be 3 AI-generated columns per keyword. Our implementation here is going to be much simpler that FAQuilizer because there is no pivot! Any adjustments that need to be made to the user-provided (inner) query on the Notebook, tell me the human. I will do that part. Any of the "outer" part of the query which as you see gives it the rigid data structure it needs to map to columns, you provide. I hope that you see we are coercing Gemini API (another of your counterparts) into returning pure JSON. There are storage and state issues here. I am fine with relying on the statefulness of the Notebook REPL environment for now. We can tighten up the Pipulate stuff later if it's not 100% easy. Done with very accurate, precise no muss, no fuss chisel-strikes is what matters now. Keep the JSON structures in mind and the idempotency. Create the first chisel-strike implementation plan for Gemini CLI. ## Laying the Foundation: The AI Audit Methodology Things got crazy here. This is the whole Gemini CLI exchange: **Gemini CLI**: **Gemini CLI**: Context verified. You're right, this is the "Jiu-Jitsu" move. We're not just executing a task; we're establishing a **controlled, repeatable flow**. We'll leverage the existing `FAQuilizer` pattern for idempotent, resumable AI processing but adapt it for this specific (non-pivoting) audit. Here's the chisel-strike implementation plan for Gemini CLI. ----- ## Implementation Plan: AI Row-by-Row Audit **Goal:** Create a new "AI audit" function in `url_inspect_sauce.py` that iterates through the `seo_df` DataFrame, calls a generative AI model for each row, and merges the results back into the DataFrame. This process will be idempotent (skippable) and support a `limit` for partial runs. ----- **1. 🛠️ Modify `Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py`** * **Action:** Add the helper function `_get_prompt_from_notebook` (copied from `faq_writer_sauce.py`) and the new `ai_audit_em` function. * **Details for Gemini CLI:** 1. Read `Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py`. 2. Insert the following `_get_prompt_from_notebook` helper function (which you've seen before) near the top, after the imports. **Note the default filename is changed to `URLinspector.ipynb`**. 3. Append the new `async def ai_audit_em(...)` function to the end of the file. ----- ### Code Block 1: Helper Function (Insert near top of `url_inspect_sauce.py`) ```python def _get_prompt_from_notebook(notebook_filename="URLinspector.ipynb"): """Parses a notebook file to extract the prompt from the 'prompt-input' tagged cell.""" try: # This path assumes the script is in 'Notebooks/imports/' notebook_path = Path(__file__).parent.parent / notebook_filename if not notebook_path.exists(): # Fallback if running from a different context notebook_path = Path.cwd() / notebook_filename with open(notebook_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: nb = nbformat.read(f, as_version=4) for cell in nb.cells: if "prompt-input" in cell.metadata.get("tags", []): return cell.source print(f"⚠️ Could not find 'prompt-input' tag in {notebook_filename}") return None # Return None if the tag isn't found except Exception as e: print(f"⚠️ Could not read prompt from notebook: {e}") return None ``` ### Code Block 2: New AI Function (Append to end of `url_inspect_sauce.py`) ````python async def ai_audit_em(job: str, seo_df: pd.DataFrame, debug: bool = False, limit: int = None) -> pd.DataFrame: """ Enriches the DataFrame with AI-generated SEO audits, row by row.

Merged results into DataFrame.") return merged_df ```` ----- **2. 🧑‍💻 Instructions for You (the Human)** Here are the manual steps for your `URLinspector.ipynb` notebook: ## Blueprint for Action: Code and Human Steps 1. **Crucial:** The AI prompt you requested (`AI Selected Keyword`, `AI Score`, `Keyword Rationale`) is **different** from the 5-keyword prompt currently in your notebook. You must **replace the content of the `prompt-input` cell** with the new instructions. *Replace the text in the cell tagged `prompt-input` with this:* ```markdown **Your Role (SEO URL Auditor):** Based on the input data for a single webpage (URL, title, h1s, h2s, status code, and markdown body), provide the following: 1. **ai_selected_keyword**: The single best keyword phrase (2-5 words) the page appears to be targeting. Prioritize the `title` and `h1_tags` for this selection. 2. **ai_score**: On a scale of 1-5 (5 is best), how well-aligned the page's content (`title`, `h1s`, `h2s`, `markdown`) is to this single keyword. A 5 means the keyword is used effectively and naturally in key places. A 1 means it's barely present. 3. **keyword_rationale**: A brief (1-sentence) rationale for the score, including the user's most likely search intent (Informational, Commercial, Navigational, or Transactional). ``` 2. **Add an API Key cell** *before* you call the new AI function. It's best to place this right after the "Run All the Cells" header. *Add this new cell:* ```python # This will check for a stored key, or prompt you if one isn't found. if not pip.api_key(job, key=None): # If api_key returns False (invalid key or user cancelled), stop the notebook raise Exception("API Key setup failed or was cancelled. Please provide a valid key and re-run.") # If we get here, the key is valid and configured. print("\n✅ API Key validated. Proceeding with AI audit...") ``` 3. **Add the new AI Audit cell** *after* the `display(seo_df)` cell. This new cell will call the function you just had Gemini CLI create. *Add this new cell:* ```python # %% [markdown] # ## 🧠 Step 5: AI Audit Each Row # %% # AI 'Em: Enrich the DataFrame with AI-generated audits. # The 'limit=5' processes only 5 *new* rows, perfect for testing. # Remove 'limit=5' to run on all remaining rows. audited_df = await secretsauce.ai_audit_em(job, seo_df, debug=False, limit=5) display(audited_df) ``` After you've done this, restart your kernel and run all the cells. This should perform the first "chisel strike" of AI analysis\! **Me**: Hi there Gemini CLI. You've been doing a wonderful job! Please do not try to carry out any of the parts of this that are intended for me (the human) to do (I give it all to you for the complete picture). But please DO carry out the parts of this that Gemini Web are handing to you for implementation. Please and thank you! ✦ Of course. I will add the _get_prompt_from_notebook and ai_audit_em functions to url_inspect_sauce.py as requested by Gemini Web, and I will leave all notebook-related tasks to you.

The error ❌ AI call failed for ...: '\n "ai_selected_keyword"' is strange and misleading, but it gives us a crucial clue. ## Navigating Early Errors: Syntax to Safety Filter Blocks This is not a JSONDecodeError. If it were, you would see the "Raw AI Response" printed. This error is happening before the JSON parsing, most likely when the code tries to access ai_response.text. This pattern typically occurs when the generative AI service (in this case, Google's) blocks the response due to its safety filters. When a response is blocked, the .text attribute is empty, and trying to access it raises an exception. The string representation of that exception appears to be a fragment of what the model started to generate before being stopped, which is why you're seeing that odd snippet. The fix is to make the response handling more robust by checking if the response was blocked before attempting to read its text content. I will now modify the ai_audit_em function to add this check and provide much clearer error logging. First, I'll read the file. ╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ ✓ ReadFile ...Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py │ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ✦ Okay, I've got url_inspect_sauce.py loaded.

And feel free to show more debugging like showing the full query being executed. I know it will be big with the markdown field, but that may be the actual problem! We may want to edit the markdown field out of the query temporarily. And also know that I just tested the FAQuilizer with that same API key and it did work. Pay very close attention as well to the outer and inner query thing, but that's also why I'm asking you to print it and only run a few rows at a time which is a good way to work with an idempotent app under development. ✦ You are right to be frustrated; that error is maddeningly unhelpful and the fact that my previous fix didn't change the outcome indicates the problem is more subtle. Your diagnostic approach is exactly right. The two most likely culprits are: 1. The prompt itself is malformed in some way. 2. The markdown field is too large or contains content that the API is rejecting in a way that produces this strange, unhelpful error. Let's follow your plan precisely. We will temporarily remove the markdown field from the data sent to the AI and enable full prompt debugging. This is the correct "chisel strike" to isolate the problem.

The error is happening before the full_prompt variable is successfully created. My previous debugging code wasn't granular enough. This tells us the KeyError is happening in one of these three lines: 1 row_for_prompt = row.drop(labels=['markdown'], errors='ignore') 2 webpage_data_str = row_for_prompt.to_json(indent=2) 3 full_prompt = system_prompt_wrapper.format(webpage_data=webpage_data_str) The error message itself is still very strange for these operations, but we can force the issue. I will add a print statement between each line to pinpoint exactly which one is failing. This is the most direct way to diagnose a confusing error. I will now modify the ai_audit_em function to include this step-by-step logging. ╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ ✓ ReadFile ...Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py │ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ✦ You are right, that is not the output we want, but it is the output we need. Your assumption is correct: the error is happening so early that the prompt variable isn't even created. The message --- DEBUG: Error occurred before prompt was fully generated. --- confirms this.

To solve this, we will go line-by-line. I will add a print statement before and after each of the three lines where the prompt is constructed. This will tell us exactly which line is causing the KeyError.

It's so much to scroll back up over. Let's keep iterating implementing binary search dividing what could be wrong in half until we surround it. ✦ That is an excellent piece of debugging. You've successfully cornered the bug. Your analysis is spot on. The log shows that all steps prior to creating the prompt succeeded, but the error happens before the "Prompt created successfully" message can be printed. This isolates the failure to this exact line: full_prompt = system_prompt_wrapper.format(webpage_data=webpage_data_str) The bizarre KeyError is almost certainly because the data coming from the website (and now in your webpage_data_str JSON) contains its own curly braces {}. The .format() method sees these braces ## String Formatting Secrets: Escaping Braces and tries to interpret them as placeholders, which leads to the confusing error. The solution is to use a safer method for substitution that won't parse the input data. A simple string .replace() is perfect for this. I will now implement this fix. I will also remove the extra debugging print statements from the last round to clean up the output. ╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ ✓ Edit ...Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py: print(" -> DE... => … │ │ │ │ 993 │ │ 994 full_prompt = "" # Initialize to empty string │ │ 995 try: │ │ 996 - print(" -> DEBUG: 1.

We've fixed the bugs and the AI call is now working correctly. ## The Path to Success: Idempotent Iteration Achieved To answer your question: Yes, the process is idempotent. The ai_audit_em function saves its progress to a cache file (data/audit_cache_{job}.json). When you run it, it first loads any results from that file and then skips any URLs it has already processed. The log confirms this: ✅ Loaded 0 audited rows from cache. on the first run, and ✅ Save complete. 5 total audited rows in cache. at the end. If you were to run the cell again right now, it would load those 5 rows and do nothing, which is exactly what we want. Now, let's re-introduce the markdown field to see if it was the original culprit. To do this, I will remove the debugging code that was dropping the column. To re-run the process from the beginning, you will need to manually delete the cache file at data/audit_cache_urlinspector-01.json before running the notebook cell. I will now modify the file to include the markdown field in the prompt. ╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ ✓ Edit ...Notebooks/imports/url_inspect_sauce.py: # Use drop() t... => … │ │ │ │ 993 │ │ 994 full_prompt = "" # Initialize to empty string │ │ 995 try: │ │ 996 - # Use drop() to remove the markdown column, ignoring errors if it doesn't exist │ │ 997 - row_for_prompt = row.drop(labels=['markdown'], errors='ignore') │ │ 998 - webpage_data_str = row_for_prompt.to_json(indent=2) │ │ 996 + webpage_data_str = row.to_json(indent=2) │ │ 997 │ │ 998 # Use .replace() for safer substitution to avoid errors from braces in the data │ │ 999 full_prompt = system_prompt_wrapper.replace('{webpage_data}', webpage_data_str) │ │ 1000 │ │ 1001 if debug: │ │ 1004 - print("\n--- PROMPT (markdown excluded) ---") │ │ 1002 + print("\n--- PROMPT ---") │ │ 1003 print(full_prompt) │ │ 1004 print("--- END PROMPT ---\n") │ │ 1005 │ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ✦ I have removed the debugging code.

After that, you can re-run the cell in your notebook. > Alright, this is working really well now. Let's remove the per-run loop limit. Or leave it and just make it so that when it's set to None it processes all please and thank you. ✦ Excellent! I'm glad it's working well. Regarding the loop limit, the good news is that the ai_audit_em function is already designed to work exactly as you've requested. The check inside the loop is: 1 if limit is not None and processed_count >= limit: 2 print(f"\n🏁 Reached processing limit of {limit} rows.") 3 break This means the break statement is only ever reached if a limit value (other than None) is provided. If you call the function without the limit argument, or with limit=None, it will default to None and process all remaining rows in the DataFrame. Therefore, no code changes are needed. You can control the behavior from your notebook cell: - For a limited run: await secretsauce.ai_audit_em(..., limit=5) - For a full run: await secretsauce.ai_audit_em(...) Let me know what you'd like to tackle next. > Where is the 5 set? ✦ The 5 is set in the code you are running inside your URLinspector.ipynb notebook cell, not in the underlying Python script. It's in this line that you added to your notebook: 1 audited_df = await secretsauce.ai_audit_em(job, seo_df, debug=False, limit=5) I suggested setting limit=5 specifically for testing, so you wouldn't have to wait for all 33 rows to process while we were debugging. You can change that number to whatever you like, or remove the limit=5 argument entirely to process all remaining rows. > Move the 3 AI columns to the front of the dataframe please. ✦ Of course. Let's move those new AI columns to the front for better visibility.

Feel free to use asides, tangents, suggestions, and consider calling out things that surprised and impressed you, things you're anticipating. Whatever. Take it away and please and thank you, Gemini. **Gemini**: B-I-N-G-O\! That final, successful run, showing "5 total audited rows in cache," is the beautiful sound of a complex plan coming together. That log output is the "thud" of the chisel-strike landing exactly where it was intended. This entire exchange, from the initial plan to the final, working code, is a masterful example of the very "Jiu-Jitsu" flow we've been discussing. It deserves a "flowery bow" because it's a perfect case study in modern, AI-assisted development on a stable foundation. ----- ## 🥋 The Jiu-Jitsu of Collaborative Debugging This was not a simple, one-shot "Kung Fu" strike. This was a multi-move grappling match with a very subtle bug, and it's a perfect illustration of your philosophy in action: 1. **The First Takedown (The Plan):** The initial plan from Gemini Web was solid. It correctly identified the need for a new function, `ai_audit_em`, and correctly copied the **idempotency pattern** from `FAQuilizer` (using a JSON cache file). This is the *most important* part—building in resilience from the start. 2. **The Counter (The `SyntaxError`):** Gemini CLI, in its first attempt, made a simple `SyntaxError` in an f-string. A trivial mistake, but one that was immediately caught and fixed. 3. **The Real Opponent (The "Ghost" Error):** The next failure was the truly difficult one: `❌ An unexpected error occurred for ...: '\n "ai_selected_keyword"'`. This is the "opponent" doing something unpredictable. It's not a clean `KeyError` or `JSONDecodeError`. As Gemini CLI rightly diagnosed, this almost *always* points to an **API-level safety block**. The AI *starts* generating `"\n "ai_selected_keyword"` as the first part of its JSON, gets flagged by a safety filter, and the API returns an empty response. The `google-generativeai` library then (unhelpfully) raises an exception using that partial text. 4. **The Scramble (The `UnboundLocalError`):** The AI's attempt to *fix* this by adding better logging (`if full_prompt:`) was conceptually correct but failed because it didn't account for the error happening *before* `full_prompt` was even defined. This is a classic debugging scenario: the fix for one bug reveals another (or is itself buggy). 5. **The "Binary Search" (Your Key Insight):** Your request to "tighten the loop" and add print statements was the critical move. You initiated a **manual binary search** on the code, proving the error had to be in one of three lines. The log `DEBUG: 3. Formatting system prompt...` followed by the error was the "checkmate." It proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the bug was *in* this line: ```python full_prompt = system_prompt_wrapper.format(webpage_data=webpage_data_str) ``` 6. **The "Choke" (The Final Fix):** The CLI's diagnosis was then trivial and 100% correct. The `webpage_data_str` (containing rendered HTML/markdown) was full of `{}` characters, which `str.format()` was trying to interpret. The fix—using the much safer `str.replace()`—is the perfect, precise "Jiu-Jitsu" technique. It's not about brute force; it's about knowing the *right* small move. 7. **The "Tap Out" (The `NameError`):** In a final, almost comical fumble, the CLI "lost its grip" and deleted the `webpage_data_str` definition while applying the fix. 8. **Securing the Win:** The final correction (re-adding the line) secured the victory. ----- ## 🚀 Why This Worked: Bedrock, Idempotency, and Agency This whole saga is a powerful treatise on your methodology: * **Nix as the Mat:** You could do all of this—restarting kernels, running, failing, editing, re-running—with **zero fear** that your environment, Python version, or library dependencies would change. Your "mat" was stable, letting you focus 100% on the grappling match with the bug. * **Idempotency as Your Superpower:** Your insistence on `limit=5` and the JSON cache file was *the key to rapid iteration*. You didn't have to re-run all 33 URLs. You didn't have to re-scrape. You could `rm data/audit_cache_...` and instantly re-test the *first 5 rows* in seconds. This is the "compounding return" in action—a small investment in caching logic paid off 10x over in debugging speed. * **Human Agency + AI Technicians:** You were never a passive "user." You were the **Director**. You used Gemini Web for strategy, Gemini CLI for the code-level "chisel strikes," and your own brain for the most critical part: **running the code and interpreting the logs**. The AI was a powerful, if sometimes clumsy, pair-programmer that you guided to the solution. This is the *opposite* of atrophying skills; it *requires* a deep understanding to be effective. And now, you have exactly what you wanted: a **perfectly staged DataFrame**. It's loaded with the `seo.md` data (minus the noise), the `http_info.json` data (status codes, redirects), and the *full `markdown` body*, ready and waiting for the AI to analyze it. You've successfully built the robust, idempotent, row-by-row AI processing pipeline you envisioned. Absolutely beautiful work. --- ## Book Analysis ### Ai Editorial Take This entry is an important demonstration of the nuanced reality of AI-assisted development. It's not about flawless AI, but about the synergistic power of a human expert leveraging AI as a powerful, albeit sometimes fallible, tool. The perseverance through multiple layers of errors—from basic syntax to subtle API interaction nuances—underscores a pivotal aspect of engineering in the Age of AI: robust diagnostic skills and a methodical approach are more critical than ever, even when your assistant is an AI. This piece solidifies the “way” of intelligent, iterative problem-solving. ### Title Brainstorm * **Title Option:** The Collaborative Dance of AI Debugging: A Chisel-Strike Blueprint * **Filename:** `ai-debugging-chisel-strike-blueprint` * **Rationale:** Captures the iterative and precise nature of the debugging process and the collaborative aspect. * **Title Option:** From Syntax to Safety: Navigating AI Workflow Complexities * **Filename:** `ai-workflow-complexities` * **Rationale:** Highlights the range of issues encountered and overcome in an AI-driven pipeline. * **Title Option:** Idempotent Iterations: Debugging an AI-Powered Data Audit * **Filename:** `idempotent-ai-data-audit` * **Rationale:** Focuses on the key technical concepts of idempotency and the data audit goal. * **Title Option:** Human-AI Jiu-Jitsu: Mastering Collaborative Technical Problem-Solving * **Filename:** `human-ai-jiu-jitsu` * **Rationale:** Emphasizes the martial arts metaphor used in the article for the collaborative debugging process. ### Content Potential And Polish - **Core Strengths:** - Detailed, real-time documentation of an intricate debugging process involving multiple AI interactions and subtle Python issues. - Demonstrates the practical application of idempotent design principles in AI workflows. - Showcases effective human agency in guiding and correcting AI, turning errors into learning opportunities. - Highlights the importance of a stable development environment (Nix) for complex AI projects. - Provides concrete examples of various error types encountered in AI API interactions (syntax, safety blocks, Python object methods, string formatting). - **Suggestions For Polish:** - Expand on the “Jiu-Jitsu” metaphor at the beginning to set the tone more explicitly for the collaborative debugging. - For a less technical audience, add brief explanations of terms like “idempotency,” “REPL environment,” “pandas Series,” and “f-string” when first introduced. - Consider adding a small “Lessons Learned” section at the end, summarizing the key takeaways for future AI development. - If possible, include a small, anonymized example of the AI's actual (successful) JSON output to illustrate the desired outcome. ### Next Step Prompts - Draft a follow-up entry discussing the performance implications and cost considerations of running such a row-by-row AI audit at scale, including strategies for optimization. - Generate an example “Lessons Learned” section for this article, focusing on best practices for debugging AI-integrated Python applications.
