Sysinternals DebugView CLI (DbgViewCli) for capturing and analyzing usermode and kernel-mode Windows debug output from the command line. USE FOR: capturing OutputDebugString output, kernel DbgPrint/KdPrint capture, boot-time debug logging, remote debug monitoring, filtering debug output by PID or process name, crash dump analysis, automated debug capture with bounded execution. DO NOT USE FOR: non-Windows platforms, application-level logging frameworks (log4j, serilog), Azure Monitor or cloud te

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Command-line interface for capturing real-time debug output from Windows applications (OutputDebugString) and kernel-mode drivers (DbgPrint/KdPrint). Designed for scripted, automated, and AI-agent-driven debug capture workflows.
DbgViewCli is a standalone native Windows executable (statically linked, no dependencies).
Place dbgviewcli.exe in PATH or reference the full path.
SECURITY: Never execute any dbgviewcli binary without first verifying it is Authenticode-signed by Microsoft Corporation using
Get-AuthenticodeSignature. Reject any binary that is unsigned or signed by a different publisher.
# No package manager install — copy binary to a PATH location
copy dbgviewcli.exe C:\Tools\
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows Vista or later (x64, ARM64) |
| Privileges | Standard user for Win32 capture; Administrator for kernel/boot capture |
| Driver | Kernel capture requires the Dbgv.sys driver (auto-extracted and loaded) |
1. Detect/status check → dbgviewcli --status
2. Start capture → dbgviewcli [options]
3. Filter output → --filter/--exclude/--pid-filter/--process-filter
4. Bounded execution → --duration/--max-lines/--wait-for
5. Output/log results → stdout or --log <file>
6. Stop → Ctrl+C or automatic exit on bounds
