fix-bug

fix-bug is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 40 tokens per session (747 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Bug fix orchestrator — activeflow fixbug; reads specs/bugs/BUG-.md; chains investigate-bug, develop-tdd, validate-fix. Use when user reports a defect.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

fix-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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fix Bug

Boundary: Orchestrator flow — chains investigate-bug (entry point + RCA via diagnose-root) → develop-tddvalidate-fix. Does not implement RCA or write bug files directly.

Orchestrates fix_bug flow without mixing epic build state.

HARD GATE — Set specs/state.yaml active_flow: fix_bug and bug_cycle.current_step: 1 before starting.

Discovered gate failures (e51s04)

Valid entry without a user-reported bug when:

  • Preflight or CI is red at kickoff or verify-work
  • Golden suite or project baseline is red (bash scripts/run-verification-gates.sh or equivalent)
  • A reproducible gate failure during unrelated epic work exceeds quick-fix guardrails

Create specs/bugs/BUG-*.md via investigate-bug (or inline in fix-bug step 1) describing the gate failure, then run the standard fix_bug chain.

Five steps (bug_cycle in state.yaml)

Step Skill / action
1 investigate-bug — create BUG-*.md with RCA
2 diagnose-root — 4-phase root cause analysis
3 develop-tdd — red-green against bug file verify steps
4 validate-fix — re-run failing test, full suite, lint
5 release-branch — PR or solo land the fix

Checkpoint / resume

Track progress via specs/state.yaml bug_cycle:

  • bug_cycle.current_step: current step (1–5)
  • bug_cycle.completed_steps: completed step numbers
  • handoff.next_skill: skill for the current step
  • On resume, read bug_cycle.current_step and continue from there

Process

  1. Step 1 — investigate-bug: If no specs/bugs/BUG-*.md, run investigate-bug first — it handles history check, RCA (via diagnose-root), fix approach, and writes the bug file. Increment bug_cycle.current_step to 2 on completion.
  2. Step 2 — diagnose-root: Run 4-phase RCA (reproduce → isolate → hypothesize → verify). Record findings in the bug file. Increment to step 3.
  3. Step 3 — develop-tdd: develop-tdd against the bug file's verify steps. Increment to step 4 on all-green.
  4. Step 4 — validate-fix: validate-fix — re-run failing test, full suite, typecheck, lint. Increment to step 5.
  5. Step 5 — release-branch: Land the fix via release-branch. Clear bug_cycle and active_flow when done.

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.
