SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Proactively discover and verify bugs across a named subsystem by generating hypotheses, writing tests, and guiding minimal fixes that culminate in a ready PR.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Recon phase to identify 5-10 concrete bug hypotheses with evidence and impact.
  • Parallel test-writers that produce failing integration tests for each hypothesis.
  • Sequential fixers that apply minimal production changes and re-run targeted tests.
  • PR drafting and runbook compilation to document findings and fixes.
  • End-to-end workflow orchestration across Recon, Test Writers, Fixers, and PR stages.
  • Customizable flows per project with artifact aggregation under .pipeline.

Quick Start

Start an automated bug-hunt flow for a given subsystem with /hunt-bugs auto {subsystem}.

Frequently Asked Questions about hunt-bugs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate bug hunting and generate integration tests for a specific subsystem?▼

Automated bug hunting identifies a subsystem's boundaries to generate 5-10 bug hypotheses with evidence, then uses parallel test-writers to produce failing integration tests for each hypothesis before applying fixes.

What is the best way to find bugs proactively across a large codebase and prepare a PR draft?▼

Proactive bug discovery at scale maps a subsystem's entry points, generates concrete bug hypotheses, and orchestrates sequential fixers to apply minimal changes, culminating in a PR-ready recovery plan stored under .pipeline.

How does structured bug hypothesis testing work for integration test generation?▼

Structured bug hypothesis testing works by mapping subsystem boundaries, creating predetermined test plans for each hypothesis, and executing a sequence of targeted tests and minimal fixes via downstream agents.

Can I use automated test-writers and fixers to create a PR-ready recovery plan for my subsystem?▼

Yes, you can use parallel test-writers to produce failing tests and sequential fixers to apply minimal production changes, which aggregates artifacts and compiles a runbook into a PR-ready recovery plan.

Does this bug hunting workflow require specific dependencies to run subsystem boundary mapping?▼

No specific dependencies are required to run subsystem boundary mapping; the workflow operates autonomously to identify entry points, generate hypotheses, and orchestrate the test and fix sequence.

When should I not use a proactive bug hunting approach for my integration tests?▼

You should avoid proactive bug hunting when you lack a clearly named subsystem to target, as the process requires defining specific boundaries and entry points to generate actionable bug hypotheses and test plans.
