+# Week 11 Progress Report by Harshit Verma
+
+**Project:** [LLM-powered Debugger for Pippy](https://github.com/sugarlabs/Pippy/issues/95)  
+**Mentors:** [Walter Bender](https://github.com/walterbender), [Ibiam Chihurumnaya](https://github.com/chimosky), [Kshitij Shah](https://github.com/kshitijdshah99)  
+**Assisting Mentors:** [Devin Ulibarri](https://github.com/pikurasa)  
+**Reporting Period:** 2025-08-11 - 2025-08-17   
+
+---
+
+## Goals for This Week
+
+- **Goal 1:** Implement a new `/debug` endpoint in **Sugar-AI**.  
+- **Goal 2:** Ensure the endpoint integrates cleanly with the upcoming **Pippy Debugger**.  
+- **Goal 3:** Raise a pull request for mentor review and feedback.  
+
+---
+
+## This Week’s Achievements
+
+1. **Implemented `/debug` Endpoint in Sugar-AI**  
+   - Designed and developed a new API endpoint to handle debugging requests from the Pippy Debugger.  
+   - This forms the **core backend logic** enabling the LLM to analyze learners’ code and provide debugging help.  
+   - PR: [sugarlabs/sugar-ai/pull/28](https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-ai/pull/28)  
+
+2. **Prepared Code for Integration with Pippy**  
+   - Structured the API so that it can be directly connected with the Pippy Activity.  
+   - This ensures seamless integration of Sugar-Ai with Pippy.  
+
+---
+
+## Challenges & How I Overcame Them
+
+- **Challenge:** Defining a clean and scalable API design for debugging.  
+  **Solution:** Discussed with mentors, studied common debugging APIs, and created a minimal but extensible structure.  
+
+---
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+- Learned how to effectively work with LangChain for building modular and flexible AI pipelines.  
+- Gained experience in implementing multiple LLM calls within a single chain to generate more context-aware and appropriate debugging responses.
+
+---
+
+## Next Week’s Roadmap
+
+- Further refine **debug responses** for edge cases based on mentors feedback.  
+- Work on improving the debugger ui/ux if required.  
+- Start the work on saving debug history to sugar journal.
