+# Runner Debug Helper Example
+
+This example demonstrates the `run_debug()` helper method that simplifies agent interaction for debugging and experimentation in ADK.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `run_debug()` method reduces agent interaction boilerplate from 7-8 lines to just 2 lines, making it ideal for:
+
+- Quick debugging sessions
+- Jupyter notebooks
+- REPL experimentation
+- Writing examples
+- Initial agent development
+
+## Files Included
+
+- `agent.py` - Agent with 2 tools: weather and calculate
+- `main.py` - 8 examples demonstrating all features
+- `README.md` - This documentation
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Set your Google API key:
+
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+### Running the Example
+
+```bash
+python -m contributing.samples.runner_debug_example.main
+```
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+1. **Minimal Usage**: Simple 2-line agent interaction
+2. **Multiple Messages**: Processing multiple messages in sequence
+3. **Session Persistence**: Maintaining conversation context
+4. **Separate Sessions**: Managing multiple user sessions
+5. **Tool Calls**: Displaying tool invocations and results
+6. **Event Capture**: Collecting events for programmatic inspection
+7. **Advanced Configuration**: Using RunConfig for custom settings
+8. **Comparison**: Before/after boilerplate reduction
+
+## Part Types Supported
+
+The `run_debug()` method properly displays all ADK part types:
+
+| Part Type | Display Format | Use Case |
+|-----------|---------------|----------|
+| `text` | `agent > {text}` | Regular text responses |
+| `function_call` | `agent > [Calling tool: {name}({args})]` | Tool invocations |
+| `function_response` | `agent > [Tool result: {response}]` | Tool results |
+| `executable_code` | `agent > [Executing {language} code...]` | Code blocks |
+| `code_execution_result` | `agent > [Code output: {output}]` | Code execution results |
+| `inline_data` | `agent > [Inline data: {mime_type}]` | Images, files, etc. |
+| `file_data` | `agent > [File: {uri}]` | File references |
+
+## Tools Available in Example
+
+The example agent includes 2 tools to demonstrate tool handling:
+
+1. **`get_weather(city)`** - Returns mock weather data for major cities
+2. **`calculate(expression)`** - Evaluates mathematical expressions safely
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+### Before (7-8 lines)
+
+```python
+from google.adk.sessions import InMemorySessionService
+from google.genai import types
+
+APP_NAME = "default"
+USER_ID = "default"
+session_service = InMemorySessionService()
+runner = Runner(agent=agent, app_name=APP_NAME, session_service=session_service)
+session = await session_service.create_session(
+    app_name=APP_NAME, user_id=USER_ID, session_id="default"
+)
+content = types.Content(role="user", parts=[types.Part.from_text("Hi")])
+async for event in runner.run_async(
+    user_id=USER_ID, session_id=session.id, new_message=content
+):
+    if event.content and event.content.parts:
+        print(event.content.parts[0].text)
+```
+
+### After (2 lines)
+
+```python
+runner = InMemoryRunner(agent=agent)
+await runner.run_debug("Hi")
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+```python
+async def run_debug(
+    self,
+    user_messages: str | list[str],
+    *,
+    user_id: str = 'debug_user_id',
+    session_id: str = 'debug_session_id',
+    run_config: Optional[RunConfig] = None,
+    quiet: bool = False,
+    verbose: bool = False,
+) -> List[Event]:
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+- `user_messages`: Single message string or list of messages (required)
+- `user_id`: User identifier for session tracking (default: 'debug_user_id')
+- `session_id`: Session identifier for conversation continuity (default: 'debug_session_id')
+- `run_config`: Optional advanced configuration
+- `quiet`: Whether to suppress output to console (default: False)
+- `verbose`: Whether to show detailed tool calls and responses (default: False)
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```python
+# Minimal usage
+runner = InMemoryRunner(agent=agent)
+await runner.run_debug("What's the weather?")
+
+# Multiple queries
+await runner.run_debug(["Query 1", "Query 2", "Query 3"])
+
+# Custom session
+await runner.run_debug(
+    "Hello",
+    user_id="alice",
+    session_id="debug_session"
+)
+
+# Capture events without printing
+events = await runner.run_debug(
+    "Process this",
+    quiet=True
+)
+
+# Show tool calls with verbose mode
+await runner.run_debug(
+    "What's the weather?",
+    verbose=True  # Shows [Calling tool: ...] and [Tool result: ...]
+)
+
+# With custom configuration
+from google.adk.agents.run_config import RunConfig
+config = RunConfig(support_cfc=False)
+await runner.run_debug("Query", run_config=config)
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+1. **Tool calls not showing in output**
+   - **Issue**: Tool invocations and responses are not displayed
+   - **Solution**: Set `verbose=True` to see detailed tool interactions:
+
+     ```python
+     await runner.run_debug("Query", verbose=True)
+     ```
+
+2. **Import errors when running tests**
+   - **Issue**: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.adk'`
+   - **Solution**: Ensure you're using the virtual environment:
+
+     ```bash
+     source .venv/bin/activate
+     python -m pytest tests/
+     ```
+
+3. **Session state not persisting between calls**
+   - **Issue**: Agent doesn't remember previous interactions
+   - **Solution**: Use the same `user_id` and `session_id` across calls:
+
+     ```python
+     await runner.run_debug("First query", user_id="alice", session_id="debug")
+     await runner.run_debug("Follow-up", user_id="alice", session_id="debug")
+     ```
+
+4. **Output truncation issues**
+   - **Issue**: Long tool responses are truncated with "..."
+   - **Solution**: This is by design to keep debug output readable. For full responses, use:
+
+     ```python
+     events = await runner.run_debug("Query", quiet=True)
+     # Process events programmatically for full content
+     ```
+
+5. **API key errors**
+   - **Issue**: Authentication failures or missing API key
+   - **Solution**: Ensure your Google API key is set:
+
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+     ```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+`run_debug()` is designed for debugging and experimentation only. For production use requiring:
+
+- Custom session/memory services (Spanner, Cloud SQL)
+- Fine-grained event processing
+- Error recovery and resumability
+- Performance optimization
+
+Use the standard `run_async()` method instead.
