Use when fixing bugs, debugging failures, or proactively reviewing code for hidden bugs. Reactive mode: fix known bugs. Proactive mode: hunt for bugs in code. Enforces confirmed root cause before any fix.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Bug Hunting

## Overview

Bugs have root causes. Symptoms have patches. Patches create future bugs.

**Core principle:** A claim is not evidence. Evidence is not root cause. Root cause is not a fix.

**Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of bug hunting.**

## Two Modes

| Mode | Trigger | First Question |
|------|---------|----------------|
| **Reactive** | "Fix this bug", "test failing", "production error" | What is the confirmed root cause? |
| **Proactive** | "Review this code", "find bugs in...", "audit this" | What could go wrong? Where are the weakest points? |

Both modes follow the same 5 phases. Entry point differs; discipline does not.

**Pocket Education guard (reactive mode).** If the memory file in your context (`CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`) has **no** `## Pocket Education` heading, ignore this paragraph. If it has one, confirm with `npx -y pocketto-pi edu --json --contract 3`; when `data.education` is `true` (or the command errors), ask before Phase 0: "Pocket Education is on here. Do you want to hunt this bug yourself with guidance (→ `pocket-education`), or should I fix it?" Make no fix until the user explicitly chooses. An explicit handover

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rfxlamia/pocketto/bug-hunting@sha256:85c76ca43e81f674

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.1249a38, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
