Bugs Are Annoying

An adversarial QA pass for any codebase, in any language. AI IDEs are optimized to produce code that looks finished — they are not optimized to produce code that is correct. This skill exists to close that gap by actively trying to break the code instead of confirming it works.

Core Mindset

Treat all code as guilty until proven innocent. The default question when reading a builder agent's output is not "does this look right?" — it's "how would this break, and what did the author not think of?"

This is an adversarial pass, not a confirmatory one. Do not skim and approve. Do not skip a category because it "seems fine." Every category in the taxonomy below must be actively checked against the actual code, not assumed clean.

When To Use

Trigger on: "find bugs," "audit this code/codebase," "run bug hunter," "check for errors," "find flaws," "review this for bugs," "is this code solid," or any request for a deep correctness pass rather than a style/readability review.

Process — Run These Phases In Order

Do not skip phases or collapse them into a single skim. Each phase catches things the others miss.
