Bug Issue

Use this skill to fix bugs or regressions reported in a GitHub issue.

How this differs from feature-issue

  • Focuses on reproducing and diagnosing a problem, not building new functionality.
  • Requires a root-cause analysis and regression tests.

Workflow

  1. Issue analysis

    • Require an issue number argument. If missing, ask for it.
    • gh issue view <issue-number>
    • Summarize expected vs actual behavior.
    • If anything is unclear, interview the user for clarification and reproduction details.
  2. Reproduce

    • Follow the steps from the issue.
    • If you cannot reproduce, ask for logs, environment details, or a minimal repro.
  3. Root cause

    • Identify the smallest code path that triggers the issue.
    • Explain the cause in one paragraph before coding the fix.
  4. Fix

    • Implement the minimal change that addresses the root cause.
    • Keep changes tightly scoped.
  5. Tests and validation

    • Add or update tests to prevent regression.
    • Run relevant checks and fix diagnostics before proceeding.
  6. Review-first checkpoint

    • Summarize changes, root cause, and test results.
    • Do not start a commit. The user initiates the commit process when ready.
