bug-provenance skillC

bug-provenance is agent-read markdown (skill) from clickety-clacks/tightbeam.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Bug provenance

A causal investigation behind one bug, ending in a classified verdict and a routed fix
plan. This is not recon's mapping ("what is here") — it is the autopsy ("why is this so").
You diagnose; you never operate: **this skill forbids editing implementation files.** A
diagnosis loses its independence the moment the diagnostician starts fixing.

1. Classify the bug into exactly one cause class, and route it:

   | Class | Meaning | Route |
   |---|---|---|
   | `code-violates-spec` | spec right, code wrong | fix plan for the code; dispatch implementation |
   | `spec-hole` | the behavior is undefined | file the hole for a spec ruling FIRST; the fix is blocked until the owning spec gains the ratified sentence |
   | `stale-spec` | spec contradicts ratified intent | spec amendment first, then code — never obey a stale spec into destroying working behavior |
   | `spec-conflict` | two specs disagree at a seam | adjudication first; no code until authority is ruled |
   | `wrong-proof` | code right, spec right, the test asserts an old implementation's accident as intent | fix the oracle AND audit what it masked while wrong |

How to install

Latest version
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/bug-provenance@git:20260809.1917466
Exact content
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/bug-provenance@sha256:6deaf672374792c6

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
