Bug Reporter

Capture and report bugs with automatic context gathering, local logging, GitHub issue creation, and pattern sharing.

When to Use

• User reports a bug or issue with

  /popkit:bug

• Agent encounters repeated errors or gets stuck
• Need to document an issue for later investigation
• Want to share a bug pattern with the collective

Input

User provides:

• Bug description
• Optional flags:

  --issue

  ,

  --share

  ,

  --verbose

  ,

  --no-context

• Or subcommands:

  list

  ,

  view <id>

  ,

  clear

Process

1. Parse Request

Determine the action:

• Default: Report new bug

• list

  : List logged bugs

• view

  : View specific bug

• clear

  : Clear logs

2. Capture Context (for new bug)

Gather automatic context using

hooks/utils/bug_context.py

from bug_context import BugContextCapture, format_bug_report, format_github_issue

capture = BugContextCapture()
ctx = capture.capture(
    description=user_description,
    recent_tools=recent_tool_calls,
    agent_state=current_agent_state
)

Context includes:

• Recent tool calls (last 10)
• Files touched
• Error messages detected
• Agent progress and current task
• Project type (language, framework)
• Git status (branch, uncommitted changes)
• Stuck patterns (same file edited 3+ times, build failures)

3. Generate Report

Format the bug report:

Bug Report
==========
ID: bug-2024-12-04-abc123
Time: 2024-12-04T10:30:00Z

Description: Agent got stuck on OAuth flow

Context:
  Language: TypeScript
  Framework: Next.js
  Branch: feature/oauth
  Uncommitted: 3 files

Recent Actions:
  1. Edit src/auth/oauth.ts
  2. Bash: npm run build (failed)
  3. Edit src/auth/oauth.ts (same file, 2nd time)

Errors Detected:
  [TypeError] Cannot read property 'token' of undefined

Stuck Patterns:
  - Same file edited 3 times: oauth.ts
  - Build command failed

Suggested Actions:
  - Consider stepping back and reviewing the approach
  - Check for null/undefined values

4. Output Actions

Based on flags:

Default - Log locally:

file_path = capture.save(ctx)
print(f"Logged to: {file_path}")

--issue - Create GitHub issue:

issue_body = format_github_issue(ctx)
# Use gh issue create with formatted body

--share - Share to collective (Pro/Team):

# Anonymize pattern
# Upload to collective learning database

5. Confirm to User

Show:

• Bug ID
• Actions taken (logged, issue created, shared)
• Link to issue if created

Subcommand Handlers

list

bugs = capture.list_bugs(limit=10)
# Format as table with ID, date, description

view

ctx = capture.get_bug(bug_id)
if ctx:
    print(format_bug_report(ctx, verbose=True))

clear

cleared = capture.clear_bugs(before=date, bug_id=id)
print(f"Cleared {cleared} bug reports")

Anonymization for Sharing

When

--share

<project>/src/auth/oauth.ts

auth module

handleTokenRefresh()

token refresh handler

[REDACTED]

def anonymize_pattern(ctx: BugContext) -> Dict:
    return {
        "trigger": abstract_error(ctx.errors[0] if ctx.errors else None),
        "context": {
            "language": ctx.project.language,
            "framework": ctx.project.framework,
            "error_type": ctx.errors[0].error_type if ctx.errors else None
        },
        "stuck_patterns": ctx.stuck_patterns,
        "suggested_actions": ctx.suggested_actions
    }
