bug-hunting skillA

bug-hunting is agent-read markdown (skill) from rfxlamia/pocketto: 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..

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 against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.

## The Three Iron Laws

```
LAW 1: NO FIX WITHOUT CONFIRMED ROOT CAUSE
LAW 2: NO CLAIM WITHOUT EVIDENCE
LAW 3: FIX THE SOURCE, NOT THE SYMPTOM
```

**The Laws are non-negotiable. All three must hold for every bug.**

If you haven't confirmed root cause → you cannot propose a fix.
If you have evidence → state it explicitly. Never say "probably" or "almost certainly."
If the fix is at the crash site → trace back further. The source is upstream.
