speckit.bug.test

A bug-fix verification command that checks whether a reported problem was actually resolved and saves a report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a bug fix, using a bug description or its saved project record, and write the result to a Markdown file.
Why use it?
It provides a recorded check after a fix instead of relying on someone to remember whether the problem went away.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

speckit.bug.test scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Bug Fix

Validate that the fix recorded by __SPECKIT_COMMAND_BUG_FIX__ actually resolves the bug described by __SPECKIT_COMMAND_BUG_ASSESS__. The output is a verification report at .specify/bugs/<slug>/test.md.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

The user input should identify the bug to validate. Accept any of:

  • slug=<bug-slug> or --slug <bug-slug> or a bare slug-like token.
  • A path that contains the slug (e.g. .specify/bugs/login-timeout/).
  • Nothing — fall back to context (see below).

Slug Resolution

Resolve BUG_SLUG in this order, stopping at the first match:

  1. Explicit user input — a slug passed in $ARGUMENTS (any of the forms above).
  2. Conversation context — if the current session has just run __SPECKIT_COMMAND_BUG_ASSESS__ or __SPECKIT_COMMAND_BUG_FIX__, the slug it reported is the working slug. Reuse it without re-prompting. Confirm it by checking that .specify/bugs/<slug>/fix.md exists; if it does not, fall through.
  3. Single candidate on disk — list .specify/bugs/*/fix.md. If exactly one bug has a fix.md, use it.
  4. Disambiguate:
    • Interactive mode: ask the user which bug to validate and list the candidates.
    • Automated mode: stop with an error listing the candidates. Do not guess.

Once resolved, set BUG_SLUG and BUG_DIR = .specify/bugs/<BUG_SLUG>, and briefly state in your reply which resolution path was used (explicit / from context / single candidate / asked).

Prerequisites

  • BUG_DIR/assessment.md MUST exist.
  • BUG_DIR/fix.md MUST exist. If not, stop and instruct the user to run __SPECKIT_COMMAND_BUG_FIX__ first.
  • If BUG_DIR/test.md already exists, ask the user whether to overwrite it (interactive mode) or refuse (automated mode).
  • Read both assessment.md and fix.md in full so you know:
    • The original symptom and reproduction steps (from assessment.md).
    • The actual code changes and tests added (from fix.md).

Execution

  1. Plan the validation
    • Decide which checks prove the bug is gone:
      • Re-run the reproduction steps from the assessment (or their automated equivalent).
      • Run the tests added or updated in the fix.
      • Run any broader regression suite that touches the changed files.
    • Decide which checks prove nothing was broken:
      • Existing test suites for the changed modules.
      • Lint / type-check if the project uses them.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
