SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users through diagnosing software bugs and converting findings into structured bug specifications for the Arness pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Collaborative, iterative bug investigation using the arn-code-investigator and arn-code-architect agents, culminating in a formal bug spec artifact.
  • Auto-creates a dedicated bug investigation project folder and organizes artifacts like reports and specs for traceability.
  • Supports both simple fixes and complex bug specifications, switching workflows based on architectural alignment and risk.

Quick Start

Describe the bug briefly and let me guide you through the diagnostic workflow to produce a formal bug specification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose a software bug and create a structured bug specification?

Diagnose a software bug by collaboratively investigating root cause and impact, then convert findings into a structured bug specification documenting evidence and plan details for traceability.

What is a bug spec and when do I need one for my workflow?

A bug spec is a formal artifact documenting root cause, evidence, impact, and fix plans. You need one to ensure traceability when handling complex software bugs requiring architectural validation.

How do I document root cause and impact for a complex software bug?

Document root cause and impact through iterative investigation and architectural validation, producing a formal bug specification and bug fix report that captures evidence and plan details.

Can I use this bug investigation workflow for simple fixes without architectural alignment checks?

Yes, the workflow switches based on architectural alignment and risk. It supports both simple fixes and complex bug specifications, adapting the investigation depth to the specific problem.

How are bug investigation reports and specs organized for traceability?

Bug investigation reports and specs are organized by auto-creating a dedicated project folder, structuring artifacts like reports and specifications to maintain traceability throughout the diagnostic pipeline.

What's the best way to generate a bug fix report after architectural validation?

Generate a bug fix report by completing iterative investigation and architectural validation, then producing a formal artifact that documents root cause, evidence, impact, and detailed fix plans.
