write-bug

A template for writing a bug report and checking its completeness with the RIMGEN method. A bug report records what failed, how to reproduce it, what should happen, and what actually happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when filing a software bug or support issue. Describe the failure, reproduction steps, expected and actual results, environment, and who is affected.
Why use it?
It turns a vague problem description into an issue that another developer can investigate. It also names missing details such as reproduction steps, environment, severity, or affected users.

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

write-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Bug

Scaffold a complete, RIMGEN-validated bug report ready to file as an issue or ticket.

Input

$ARGUMENTS = description of the bug — what broke, what you were doing, what you expected.

Process

1. Handle Missing Input

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or contains no actionable description, prompt the author for the minimum information needed to begin scaffolding. Present these questions in a single consolidated prompt:

  • What broke? — Describe the failure in one sentence.
  • How do you reproduce it? — What steps lead to the failure?
  • What did you expect to happen? — The correct behavior.
  • What actually happened? — The incorrect behavior you observed.
  • What is your environment? — Version, OS, browser or runtime if applicable.
  • Who is affected? — Just you, or specific configurations or all users?

Do not proceed to draft until the author has provided at least: a failure description, at least one reproduction step, and both expected and actual behaviors.

2. Assess RIMGEN Completeness

Before drafting, evaluate whether the input provides enough information across all six RIMGEN dimensions:

Dimension Sufficient when Prompt if underspecified
R — Reproducible Steps are present and specific enough to follow independently "What are the exact steps to reproduce this?"
I — Isolated A single, specific failure is described — not a cluster of related issues "Is this one specific failure, or are there multiple separate issues to report?"
M — Minimal The reproduction path is not bloated with unnecessary setup No prompt needed — trim during drafting
G — Generalizable Scope of impact is stated (all users? specific role? specific config?) "Who else sees this — all users, or only in specific configurations?"
E — Expected vs. Actual Both expected and actual behaviors are present and distinct "What did you expect to happen?" and/or "What actually happened?"
N — Necessary Context At least one environment detail is present (version, OS, or configuration) "What version and environment are you running?"

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.

write-bug is a skill published in the GitHub repository cpliakas/claude-code-engineering-leaders (4 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,781 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
