When invoked with a description:
1. **Parse the description** for key information.
2. **Search the codebase** for related files using Grep/Glob to add context.
3. **Generate the bug report**:
```markdown
# Bug Report
## Summary
**Title**: [Concise, descriptive title]
**ID**: BUG-[NNNN]
**Severity**: [S1-Critical / S2-Major / S3-Minor / S4-Trivial]
**Priority**: [P1-Immediate / P2-Next Sprint / P3-Backlog / P4-Wishlist]
**Status**: Open
**Reported**: [Date]
**Reporter**: [Name]
## Classification
- **Category**: [Business / UI / Audio / Visual / Performance / Crash / Network]
- **System**: [Which product system is affected]
- **Frequency**: [Always / Often (>50%) / Sometimes (10-50%) / Rare (<10%)]
- **Regression**: [Yes/No/Unknown -- was this working before?]
## Environment
- **Build**: [Version or commit hash]
- **Platform**: [OS, hardware if relevant]
- **Scene/Level**: [Where in the product]
- **Product State**: [Relevant state -- inventory, quest progress, etc.]
## Reproduction Steps
**Preconditions**: [Required state before starting]
1. [Exact step 1]
2. [Exact step 2]
3. [Exact step 3]
**Expected Result**: [What should happen]
**Actual Result**: [What actually happens]
## Technical Context
- **Likely affected files**: [List of files based on codebase search]
- **Related systems**: [What other systems might be involved]
- **Possible root cause**: [If identifiable from the description]
## Evidence
- **Logs**: [Relevant log output if available]
- **Visual**: [Description of visual evidence]
## Related Issues
- [Links to related bugs or design documents]
## Notes
[Any additional context or observations]
```
When invoked with `analyze`:
1. **Read the target file(s)**.
2. **Identify potential bugs**: null references, off-by-one errors, race
conditions, unhandled edge cases, resource leaks, incorrect state
transitions.
3. **For each potential bug**, generate a bug report with the likely trigger
scenario and recommended fix.
## Protocol
- **Question**: Parses description argument; asks for clarification if reproduction steps or severity are missing
- **Options**: Skip — single report format (or `analyze` mode for static code scan)
- **Decision**: Skip
- **Draft**: Structured report shown in conversation before saving
- **Approval**: "May I write BUG-[NNN] to `[filepath]`?"
## Output
Deliver exactly:
- **Bug report** with: title, severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), reproduction steps, expected vs actual behavior, environment, and suggested fix
- **`/bug-report analyze` mode**: list of potential bugs found with file:line, trigger scenario, and recommended fix per issue
