SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides the structured middle for bug-shaped bead fixes, pairing RED-test creation with GREEN implementation while delegating lifecycle orchestration to bead-lifecycle-shell.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a disciplined bug-fix workflow that separates test authoring (RED) from implementation (GREEN) and tracks bug-class coverage and enshrined-test sweeps.
  • Coordinates the M1–M6 variable-middle stages and integrates with the bead-lifecycle-shell to handle claim, isolate, verify, close, and capture.
  • Typical use cases include starting a bug bead after session startup or via the /working-a-bead router, then executing the end-to-end bug-fix sequence.

Quick Start

Start a bug-shaped bead session and run bugfix-a-bead to coordinate RED test then GREEN fix.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a bug fix workflow using TDD red-green phases?

bugfix-a-bead structures bug-shaped bead fixes by pairing RED-test creation with GREEN implementation across M1–M6 variable-middle stages. It coordinates diagnosis, testing, and fix implementation while delegating lifecycle orchestration to bead-lifecycle-shell.

What is the bead-lifecycle-shell coordination process for bug fixes?

Bead-lifecycle-shell coordination handles claim, isolate, verify, close, and capture phases for bug-shaped beads. The bugfix workflow delegates lifecycle orchestration to this shell while enforcing the variable middle stages M1 through M6.

How do I start a bug bead session after claiming a bug?

Start a bug-shaped bead session after claim or via the /working-a-bead router, then execute the end-to-end bug-fix sequence. The workflow coordinates diagnosis, testing, and implementation across variable middle stages M1 through M6.

Does the bugfix bead workflow separate test authoring from implementation?

Yes, the workflow pairs RED-test creation with GREEN implementation, enforcing separation between test authoring and fix implementation. It tracks bug-class coverage and enshrined-test sweeps while coordinating M1–M6 variable-middle stages.

What are the M1 through M6 variable middle stages in a bug fix workflow?

M1 through M6 are variable-middle stages enforced during bug-shaped bead fixes, structuring diagnosis, testing, and implementation. They integrate with bead-lifecycle-shell coordination for claim, isolate, verify, close, and capture operations.
