bug-history-summarizer

bug-history-summarizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 106 tokens per session (1,753 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for reconstructing the history of a software bug across code versions. It follows when the bug was introduced, how it was found, which fixes were attempted, and whether it returned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate an issue number, commit, or bug description with Git history, identify the introducing change, evaluate fixes, and analyze regressions.
Why use it?
It turns scattered commits, issues, pull requests, and test results into one account of the bug’s lifecycle.

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-history-summarizer 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 12d 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 History Summarizer

Trace and summarize the complete lifecycle of a bug across code versions.

Workflow

Follow these steps to generate a comprehensive bug history summary:

1. Identify the Bug and Gather Context

Collect essential information:

  • Bug identifier: Issue number, commit hash, or bug description
  • Repository: Target codebase with version history
  • Version range: Specific versions/commits to analyze (or entire history)
  • Related artifacts: Issue reports, pull requests, commit messages, test results

2. Trace Bug Introduction

Identify when and how the bug was introduced:

Using git blame and bisect:

  • Run git blame on affected files to find when problematic lines were added
  • Use git bisect to pinpoint the exact commit that introduced the bug
  • Analyze the introducing commit: author, date, purpose, related changes

Analyze introduction context:

  • What was the original intent of the change?
  • Was it a new feature, refactoring, or bug fix?
  • Were there code review comments or warnings?
  • What tests existed at the time?

3. Track Detection History

Document when and how the bug was discovered:

  • Initial detection: When was the bug first reported or noticed?
  • Detection method: User report, automated test, code review, production incident?
  • Time to detection: How long between introduction and discovery?
  • Severity assessment: How was the bug initially classified?

4. Analyze Fix Attempts

Chronicle all attempts to fix the bug:

For each fix attempt:

  • Commit hash and date
  • Author and reviewer
  • Fix approach and code changes
  • Test coverage added
  • Whether the fix was successful or reverted

Identify patterns:

  • Multiple fix attempts indicate complexity
  • Reverted fixes suggest incomplete understanding
  • Test additions show learning from the bug

5. Check for Regressions

Identify if the bug reappeared after being fixed:

  • Search for related bug reports after the fix
  • Check if the fix was reverted or modified
  • Look for similar bugs in related code
  • Analyze if the bug reoccurred in different contexts

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.
