fix-bug

fix-bug is a skill for Claude Code from escapeboy/ai-prompts. It costs 30 tokens per session (818 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A three-stage workflow for fixing software bugs: investigate every occurrence, apply the fix everywhere it is needed, and run regression checks. Regression checks verify that the change did not break existing behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace an error across source files, views, tests, routes, configuration, and relevant front-end files, then validate the complete fix.
Why use it?
It helps prevent partial fixes, where one reference to a broken function, route, variable, or setting is corrected while similar references remain broken.

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 27d 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.

fix-bug

Three-phase bug fix that finds ALL occurrences, fixes atomically, and validates with a regression test.

When to Use (and When NOT to)

Use this skill for Use a simpler approach for
A bug that could touch multiple files (renamed prop, broken route, changed model attribute) A one-line fix with no cross-file symbol — just fix it directly
The "#1 friction source": partial fixes that miss a reference elsewhere You already know the single file/line to change and nothing else references it
A bug you want validated with a dedicated regression test A trivial typo/copy fix that doesn't warrant its own test

Phase 1 — Comprehensive Investigation

Before touching any code:

  1. Reproduce the issue and capture the exact error message / stack trace
  2. Identify the primary symbol involved (function name, route, variable, class, column)
  3. Grep the entire codebase for every reference to that symbol:
    • Controllers, services, models
    • View templates (Blade / JSX / ERB / Twig — server-rendered views are the most-missed spot)
    • Tests (feature + unit)
    • Route definitions (all route files, not just the obvious one)
    • Config files
    • JS/CSS files if relevant
  4. Document: full list of files that reference the broken symbol
  5. Check for the same bug pattern in similar locations (e.g. if one route is broken, check all routes of the same type)

Do not proceed until you have the complete reference map.

Phase 2 — Fix with Full Coverage

Apply changes atomically across every file found in Phase 1:

  • For renamed variables/properties: update the definition + every view, controller, test, and config
  • For broken routes: check all route files, all route-helper calls, all redirects and links
  • For removed/changed model attributes: update mass-assignment lists ($fillable or equivalent), factories, seeders, and all tests that reference those attributes
  • For middleware changes: check route groups, kernel/middleware registration, and all test middleware overrides

fix-bug is a skill published in the GitHub repository escapeboy/ai-prompts (91 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 818 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
