Bug Fix Lifecycle

Use this skill to move a defect from intake through verified resolution without skipping the evidence that makes the fix trustworthy.

Responsibilities

• report newly discovered defects with repository-grounded evidence
• fix approved bugs with a failing confirmation test before the implementation when practical
• explain the requirement gap, test gap, and root cause in plain engineering language
• update affected documentation when product behavior, developer guidance, or operator guidance changed
• deliver a structured report that another engineer can audit quickly
