What Bug Fix Protocol does

Bug Fix Protocol guides a disciplined bug fix workflow end to end: reproduce the issue, write a failing test, apply the smallest fix, verify it, and check for related cases. Use it for reported defects, regressions, and hotfixes.

Bug Fix Protocol is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Bug Fix Protocol comes from a repository tagged ai, claude, claude-skills and skills.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Bug Fix Protocol

Purpose

Turn a bug report into a merged fix without introducing a second bug. The protocol is deliberately rigid: it exists to prevent the two most common failures — fixing the symptom, and fixing the cause without proving it.

When to Use

Any reported defect with a reproducible symptom.
A regression discovered in CI or production.
A hotfix under time pressure — especially then.

Capabilities

Reproduction and minimization.
Root-cause isolation (see the debugging skill for the search method).
Minimal, targeted fixes with regression tests.
Blast-radius assessment for the same class of defect elsewhere.

Inputs

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
