Use when someone wants to know WHY something is broken and has not asked for it to be fixed — "why is this happening", "what's causing this error", "find out what's wrong", "diagnose this before we decide". Also use before committing to a fix, when the cause is unknown and the decision depends on it. Not for fixing — that is superb:bug-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 Investigate

## Overview

Finds the root cause of a bug and reports it. **That is the whole job.**

No plan, no fix, no edits. Knowing what is wrong is often the thing that is
actually needed — because the fix is obvious once you know, because the decision
about *whether* to fix is someone else's, or because the answer changes what gets
built rather than what gets patched.

**This is the same investigation `superb:bug-fix` runs as its first step.** The
difference is where it stops. If you already know you want the bug fixed end to
end, use `superb:bug-fix` and let it carry the result into a plan.

## Step 0 — Assemble the report

The investigator needs five things, and the invocation argument usually supplies
one or two:

| Field | Example |
| ----- | ------- |
| Symptom | "uploads over ~5MB fail silently" |
| Reproduction | the steps, or `unknown` |
| Error text | stack trace, log line, or `none surfaced` |
| Affected surface | endpoint, screen, command, job |
| Last known good | a date, a release, a commit, or `never worked` |

Ask for whatever is missing in **one batched question**, not five. `unknown` is a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kardebadas/claude-plugin/bug-investigate@sha256:780d454eba1f5dfb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.85e6446, 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.
