SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Triage a reported bug to quickly identify the root cause and produce a clear, test-driven plan to implement a durable fix.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Problem capture: turn a user’s description into an actionable investigation target with minimal back-and-forth
  • Codebase diagnosis: trace failing behavior to the responsible module or behavior contract, using tests, error handling, and related patterns
  • TDD fix planning: generate an ordered RED-GREEN cycle list with durable, behavior-focused test descriptions and minimal code changes per step

Quick Start

Use triage-issue when you report a bug or say you want to triage a problem, and ask it to investigate the codebase and write a triage report with a TDD fix plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage a reported bug and create a TDD fix plan?▼

Bug triage involves investigating the codebase to identify the root cause and generating a markdown report with an ordered RED-GREEN TDD cycle and acceptance criteria for a durable fix.

What is the best way to find the root cause of a bug in my codebase?▼

Root cause analysis for bugs requires deep codebase exploration using traces and existing tests to trace failing behavior back to the responsible module or behavior contract.

How do I write a test-driven development plan for a bug fix?▼

A TDD fix plan lists an ordered RED-GREEN cycle with durable, behavior-focused test descriptions and minimal code changes required per step to guide the implementation.

Can I automatically generate a markdown triage report for a GitHub issue?▼

Yes, by capturing the problem description with minimal clarifying questions, the investigation produces a markdown triage report containing the root cause and TDD fix plan.

Do I need existing tests to perform a codebase diagnosis for a bug?▼

Codebase diagnosis uses existing tests, error handling, and related patterns to trace failing behavior, making current test suites highly beneficial for accurate root cause analysis.

When should I use a TDD fix plan instead of directly patching the code?▼

Use a TDD fix plan when you need a durable, behavior-focused fix that prevents regressions, rather than a quick patch that might miss the underlying root cause of the issue.
