Triage Issue
Investigate a reported problem, find its root cause, and create a GitHub issue with a TDD fix plan. This is a mostly hands-off workflow - minimize questions to the user.
Process
1. Capture the problem
Get a brief description of the issue from the user. If they haven't provided one, ask ONE question: "What's the problem you're seeing?"
Do NOT ask follow-up questions yet. Start investigating immediately.
2. Explore and diagnose
Use the Agent tool with subagent_type=Explore to deeply investigate the codebase. Your goal is to find:
- Where the bug manifests (entry points, UI, API responses)
- What code path is involved (trace the flow)
- Why it fails (the root cause, not just the symptom)
