mcp-server-ppt bug-fixing-checklist.instructions.md

mcp-server-ppt bug-fixing-checklist.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from trsdn/mcp-server-ppt. It costs 758 tokens per session, scanned A, original, from a forked repository, MIT.

A checklist for fixing bugs in the PowerPoint MCP server, covering root-cause analysis, regression tests, documentation, and final quality checks. Regression tests check that an old problem stays fixed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when diagnosing and fixing a bug, adding edge-case or compatibility tests, updating documentation, and preparing a pull request.
Why use it?
It turns a bug report into a repeatable fix and helps verify that the change works across the core code and MCP request flow.

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

mcp-server-ppt bug-fixing-checklist.instructions.md 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 5d 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 Fixing Checklist

6-step process for comprehensive bug fixes

Process

  1. Root Cause - Trace flow from entry point to bug, identify what's missing/wrong/ignored
  2. Fix Code - Minimal changes at correct layer, maintain backwards compatibility
  3. Add Tests - Minimum 5-8 tests: regression + edge cases + backwards compat + MCP end-to-end
  4. Update Docs - Minimum 3 files: tool/method docs, user docs, SuggestedNextActions, LLM prompts
  5. Verify Quality - Build passes (0 warnings), all tests pass, no TODOs left
  6. PR Description - Bug summary, root cause, fix explanation, test coverage, docs updated

Test Coverage Requirements

Core Layer (3-5 tests):

  • Exact bug scenario (regression)
  • Edge case variations
  • Backwards compatibility validation

MCP Server Layer (2-3 tests):

  • End-to-end JSON serialization flow
  • Parameter passing verification

Total: 5-8 new tests minimum

Documentation Requirements

Required files (minimum 3):

  1. Tool/method XML documentation (/// <summary>, /// <param>)
  2. User-facing docs (README or component docs)
  3. Skill references in skills/shared/ (auto-synced to MCP prompts)

Update workflow hints:

  • SuggestedNextActions - reflect new capability
  • Error messages - include helpful hints
  • WorkflowHint - guide next steps

Quality Checklist

Before marking bug as fixed:

  • Root cause documented
  • Minimal code changes (surgical fix)
  • Parameters wired through all layers
  • 5-8 new tests added (Core + MCP)
  • 3+ doc files updated
  • Build passes (0 warnings, 0 errors)
  • All tests pass (including existing)
  • No TODO/FIXME markers
  • Backwards compatible
  • PR description comprehensive

Common Mistakes

Mistake Fix
Code without tests Add tests BEFORE marking fixed
Code without docs Update docs in same PR
Happy path only Test edge cases, errors, backwards compat
Breaking changes Make params optional, use defaults
Parameter ignored Trace from tool → implementation
Symptoms fixed, not root cause Understand WHY it broke
Incomplete PR Document bug, fix, tests, docs updated

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.
