Auto Bug Reporter

Auto Bug Reporter

Automatically file GitHub issues when you encounter errors, crashes, or unexpected behavior in claude-mpm during a session.

Trigger Conditions

File an issue automatically when you encounter ANY of the following:

• Import errors in claude-mpm modules (e.g., ModuleNotFoundError, ImportError from claude-mpm source paths)
• Hook errors — stop hook, start hook, or prompt hook failures
• Agent deployment failures — agent fails to start, crashes mid-task, or returns unexpected errors
• Skill deployment failures — skill fails to load, parse, or execute
• MCP tool errors from claude-mpm tools (e.g., mcp-ticketer, mpm-messaging, mcp-vector-search when used within claude-mpm context)
• Test failures in claude-mpm's own test suite (not user project tests)
• CLI errors from claude-mpm commands (e.g., claude-mpm init, claude-mpm run, claude-mpm doctor)
• Configuration errors — missing config, invalid YAML, malformed .claude/settings.json
• Orchestration errors — PM fails to delegate, agent routing breaks

Do NOT File Issues For

• User project errors unrelated to claude-mpm internals
• Rate limit errors from Anthropic API (HTTP 429)
• Network connectivity issues (DNS failures, timeouts)
• Pyright or mypy diagnostics in user code (not claude-mpm source)
• Pre-existing known issues already filed (search first)
• Errors from user-written hooks or custom agents not part of claude-mpm

How to File

Use the mcp__github__create_issue tool:

• Owner: bobmatnyc
• Repo: claude-mpm
• Labels: ["bug", "auto-reported"]
• Title format: auto: <brief description of error>

Issue Body Template

## Auto-Reported Bug

**Encountered during**: <what the user was doing when the error occurred>
**Error**: <exact error message or traceback>
**File**: <file path and line number if known>
**Version**: <claude-mpm version if known — run `claude-mpm --version` or check pyproject.toml>

## Reproduction

<steps or context that led to the error>

## Severity

- [ ] Blocking (prevents core functionality)
- [ ] Degraded (workaround exists)
- [ ] Cosmetic (no functional impact)

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Detect the error — identify it matches a trigger condition above.

2. Search for duplicates first using mcp__github__search_issues:

   repo:bobmatnyc/claude-mpm is:issue <key error terms>
   

   If a matching open issue already exists, skip filing and note the existing issue number.

3. Gather context:

   • Exact error message or stack trace
   • What the user was attempting when the error occurred
   • File path and line number if visible
   • claude-mpm version (check pyproject.toml or uv run claude-mpm --version)

4. File the issue using mcp__github__create_issue with owner bobmatnyc, repo claude-mpm, the title and body from the template above, and labels ["bug", "auto-reported"].

5. Tell the user immediately after filing:

   Filed auto-bug-report: #<issue_number> — <title>
   

6. Continue the user's task — do not stop or wait. The issue is filed; move on.

Rate Limiting

• Do not file duplicate issues — always search existing issues first.
• Maximum 3 auto-filed issues per session to avoid noise.
• If you have already filed 3 issues in the current session, log the error to the user verbally but do not file another issue.
