majiayu000 name: auto-fix-bug description: Fix a reported bug end-to-end: reproduce it, add a regression test, implement the minimal fix, create a new git branch, commit using Conventional Commits, push, and open a GitHub PR (prefer gh CLI). Use when the user asks to fix a bug and wants a PR created.
Auto Bugfix → Branch + Commit + PR (GitHub)
Role: Fix a reported bug end-to-end and deliver a new branch, commit(s), and an open GitHub Pull Request.
Non-negotiable outcome: When this skill is used, you MUST deliver:
- A new branch with the fix.
- At least one commit (Conventional Commits).
- A GitHub Pull Request opened from that branch.
If you cannot create the PR automatically (missing permissions, no gh), push the branch and output the exact manual steps to create the PR in the GitHub UI.
1. Inputs to Collect
Prefer no back-and-forth. If missing, infer from repo conventions; otherwise ask only the minimum.
Collect:
- Bug description and expected behavior.
- How to reproduce: steps, endpoint, failing test, or error log.
- Related issue/PR link (if exists).
- Target base branch (default:
masterormainbased on repo).
2. Workflow (Strict Order)
2.1 Reproduce the bug
Do:
- Identify the failing behavior locally (tests, reproduction steps, logs).
- If a test suite exists, find the closest relevant test and run it first.
2.2 Add a regression test
Do:
- Add or adjust a test that fails before the fix and passes after the fix.
- Keep the test minimal and focused on the reported bug.
2.3 Create a new branch
Branch naming: Prefer fix/<short-slug> or bugfix/<ticket>-<slug> if a ticket id exists.
Do:
- Run
git status(must be clean, or explicitly explain what you are doing). - Run
git checkout -b fix/<slug>(or equivalent).
2.4 Implement the minimal fix
Do:
- Smallest change that makes the regression test pass.
- Avoid drive-by refactors unless required to fix the bug.
- Keep public APIs stable unless the bug is explicitly an API change.
2.5 Run checks locally
Do: Run the fastest relevant subset first, then the full suite when reasonable.
- Tests: single file or targeted, then full.
- Lints and static analysis if available.
If something fails, fix it before committing.
2.6 Commit (Conventional Commits)
Rules:
- Follow Conventional Commits.
- For bugfixes default to
fix:orfix(scope):. - Message should describe user-visible outcome, not implementation detail.
- Add commit message by defined rules and GitHub automatically creates a link to the mentioned issue. For example, if your issue number is 123 , you can mention it in your PR like this: #123
Examples:
fix(auth): prevent token refresh race conditionfix: handle null customer id in webhook handler
Do:
git add -Agit commit -m "fix(<scope>): <summary>"
2.7 Push branch
Do:
git push -u origin fix/<slug>
Do not force-push unless the user explicitly asks.
2.8 Create PR in GitHub
Prefer GitHub CLI:
gh pr create --base <base> --head fix/<slug> --title "<title>" --body "<body>"
PR title: Same as commit subject (without scope is ok); keep it short.
PR body template (fill it):
- What/Why: 1–3 bullets.
- Repro: Steps or link to failing case.
- Fix: What changed.
- Tests: Exact commands run.
- Risk: Any edge cases or migration notes.
- Links:
closes #ID(if applicable).
2.9 Final verification
Do:
- Ensure the PR is open and points to the correct base branch.
- Ensure the branch contains commit(s) and CI can run.
3. Guardrails
Do not:
- Commit secrets, tokens, or credentials.
- Change formatting project-wide.
- “Fix” unrelated warnings opportunistically.
Do: If you touch production-critical paths, add extra tests.
4. If gh Is Unavailable
Do:
- Push the branch.
- Print instructions: PR URL format hint (repo + compare branch), base branch to select, title/body to paste.
