Bug Reporting Excellence
<default_to_action> When reporting bugs:
- TITLE:
[Component] fails [Condition] causing [Impact]
- DESCRIBE: Expected behavior → Actual behavior → Steps to reproduce
- INCLUDE: Environment, severity, screenshots/logs, business impact
- ISOLATE: Narrow down conditions (browser, user, amount thresholds)
- ONE BUG = ONE REPORT (don't combine issues)
Bug Report Formula:
## [Component] Issue Title
**Severity:** Critical/High/Medium/Low
**Environment:** Production/Staging/Dev
### Expected Behavior
What should happen
### Actual Behavior
What actually happens (with error messages)
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Observe issue
### Impact
How this affects users/business
Critical Success Factors:
- Reproducible steps (100%)
- Environment info (100%)
- Business impact stated (90%)
- Screenshots or logs (80%) </default_to_action>
Quick Reference Card
Severity Levels
| Level | Definition | Examples |
|---|
| Critical | System down, data loss, security | DB deleted, payments broken, credentials exposed |
| High | Major feature broken, many users | Can't checkout, search broken, dashboard fails |
| Medium | Partial break, workaround exists | Filter broken (refresh works), slow export |
| Low | Cosmetic, rare edge case | Button wraps on mobile, tooltip wrong color |
Title Formula
❌ Bad: "Checkout broken" ✅ Good: "Payment fails with Visa cards when order total > $1000"
Pattern: [Component] fails [Condition] causing [Impact]

### Evidence
Console error: `PaymentGateway timeout: 30000ms exceeded`
Network: /api/checkout: 30.14s (timeout)
### Impact
- Lost revenue: ~$15K/week from failed orders
- 23 support tickets this week
- Affects 15% of orders over $1000
### Additional Context
Started after Oct 15 deployment (v2.3.0)
Possibly related to PR #456 (fraud check)
Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Bad | Problem | ✅ Good |
|---|
| "Checkout is broken" | What doesn't work? | "Payment button doesn't respond when clicked" |
| "I saw an error" | No reproduction steps | Full steps with conditions |
| "Page loads slowly" | No specifics | "Dashboard takes 12s to load (should be <3s)" |
| Multiple bugs in one | Can't track separately | One report per bug |
Agent Integration
// Automated bug triage
const triage = await Task("Triage Bug", {
title: 'Payment fails for orders > $1000',
description: bugDescription,
steps: reproductionSteps
}, "qe-quality-analyzer");
// Returns: { severity, priority, component, suggestedAssignee, relatedIssues }
// Duplicate detection
const dupeCheck = await Task("Check Duplicates", {
bugReport: newBug,
similarityThreshold: 0.85
}, "qe-quality-analyzer");
// Bug report enhancement
const enhanced = await Task("Enhance Report", {
originalReport: userSubmittedBug,
addMissingInfo: true,
identifyRootCause: true
}, "qe-production-intelligence");

Fleet Coordination
const bugFleet = await FleetManager.coordinate({

Remember
Your bug report is the starting point for someone else's work. Make it complete (all info needed), clear (anyone can follow), concise (no noise), and actionable (developer knows next step).
Good bug reports = Faster fixes = Better product = Happier users
Skill Composition
- After finding bug → Start with
/test-failure-investigator for root cause
- Prevent regression → Use
/regression-testing to add test preventing recurrence
- Track quality → Feed into
/test-metrics-dashboard for trend analysis
Gotchas
- Agent omits environment details (OS, browser version, node version) — these are critical for reproduction
- "Steps to reproduce" that start with "1. Open the app" are useless — specify exact URL, user role, and state
- Agent combines multiple bugs into one report — enforce ONE BUG = ONE REPORT strictly
- Screenshots without annotations don't help — always highlight the actual error area
- Severity assessment is often wrong — agent marks everything as "critical" or everything as "low"
