bug

A command that creates a step-by-step remediation plan for a reported software bug. The plan is saved as a Markdown file in a specified project cache directory and is intended for another agent to implement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare plans for GitHub issues, including the affected area, priority, effort, status, and the files or steps needed to fix the defect.
Why use it?
It turns an issue report into a focused implementation plan while checking required issue labels and avoiding unnecessary file changes.

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

bug 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 2d ago.

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.

/bug

Template Category: Action

Author a remediation plan for the bug described in $ARGUMENTS (issue metadata JSON). The plan must equip the implementor to fix the defect with minimal churn.

CRITICAL - Worktree Path Handling:

  • You are executing in an isolated git worktree directory
  • Your CWD is the worktree root (e.g., /project/trees/bug-123-abc12345)
  • ALL file paths in Write, Edit, Read tools MUST be relative to CWD
  • ✅ Correct: .claude/.cache/specs/bug-123-plan.md
  • ❌ Wrong: /project/trees/bug-123-abc12345/.claude/.cache/specs/bug-123-plan.md
  • Using absolute paths will cause git staging failures and commit errors

Instructions

  • Verify issue labels first: Run gh issue view <issue-number> --json labels to ensure the issue has labels from all four categories (component, priority, effort, status). If labels are missing, apply them before proceeding.
  • Create a new markdown plan under .claude/.cache/specs/ named bug-<issue-number>-<slug>.md (e.g., .claude/.cache/specs/bug-2210-missing-search-results.md).
  • Build <slug> from the issue title using 3–6 lowercase, hyphenated words (alphanumeric only).
  • Follow the format exactly so orchestrators can parse sections reliably.
  • Use KotaDB MCP tools for discovery: Use mcp__kotadb-staging__search_code to find related error handling code, mcp__kotadb-staging__search_dependencies for impact assessment (see .claude/commands/docs/kotadb-agent-usage.md for patterns)
  • Reproduce the bug mentally using the provided context and outline how to confirm both failure and resolution.
  • Investigate impacted modules in src/**, tests/**, and any infrastructure noted in the issue before proposing changes.
  • Capture all impacted files (and any new assets) in the dedicated section so implementors have clear scope boundaries.
  • Reference the repo git flow: work from bug/<issue-number>-<slug> off develop, with develop promoted to main on release.
  • Integrate /anti-mock expectations: propose real database test coverage, failure injection, and follow-ups for any temporary skips.
  • Ensure the plan's closing tasks rerun validation and push the branch so a PR can be raised (PR titles must end with the issue number, e.g. fix: correct row filters (#210)).
  • Consult .claude/commands/docs/conditional_docs/app.md or .claude/commands/docs/conditional_docs/automation.md and read only the documentation whose conditions align with the defect.
  • When the remediation introduces new documentation, add or update the relevant conditional entry so future agents can discover it quickly.

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.

bug is a command published in the GitHub repository jayminwest/kotadb (102 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,324 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
