SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents wasted effort by turning an unclear or incomplete bug report into a shared understanding and an actionable reproduction plan before any fixing begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bug understanding & gap identification: Summarizes what the bug is, where it occurs, and what’s missing to proceed confidently.
  • Reproduction planning: Proposes a step-by-step approach for confirming the bug using only safe, read-only exploration.
  • Duplicate/related work gating: Checks for existing linked PRs or overlapping issues and prompts the user to review if relevant work is found.

Quick Start

Use the assess skill to review the current bug report details and produce a structured bug assessment with gaps, assumptions, and a reproduction plan for the next phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage an incomplete bug report before starting a fix?▼

Bug triage for incomplete reports involves summarizing the issue, identifying missing reproduction steps, and separating known facts from gaps to build a shared understanding before fixing begins.

What is the best way to check for existing PRs related to a GitHub issue?▼

Checking for existing PRs related to a GitHub issue requires scanning linked pull requests and overlapping issues to detect duplicate work, applying a gate to prevent wasted effort before proceeding with reproduction.

How do I plan reproduction steps for a software bug with uncertain scope?▼

Planning reproduction steps for uncertain software bugs requires read-only repository exploration to confirm component scope and impact safely, creating a step-by-step approach without making changes.

Can I analyze a bug report without modifying the repository?▼

Yes, analyzing a bug report can be performed entirely with read-only repository exploration, ensuring safe pre-fix planning by identifying gaps and proposing reproduction steps without modifying code.

When do I need to clarify missing information in a bug triage workflow?▼

Clarifying missing information in a bug triage workflow is needed when reproduction steps, component scope, or impact are uncertain, requiring explicit separation of known versus missing data to proceed confidently.
