Diagnoses and fixes bugs using a test-first workflow (reproduce, diagnose, fix). Use this skill whenever the user reports a bug, describes unexpected behavior, or asks to investigate or fix a defect. Even if the user says "something's broken", "this isn't working", "fix this bug", or "why does X happen", load this skill to guide the full reproduce → diagnose → fix cycle.
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
Guide for diagnosing and fixing bugs. This skill defines a test-first debugging workflow: reproduce the bug with a failing test, diagnose the root cause, then fix it. ## Mode Check This skill must be used **outside plan mode**. Before doing anything else, check the current mode: - `ExitPlanMode` is NOT in the deferred tools list (i.e., directly callable) → **in plan mode** → stop immediately and tell the user: > "This skill (`/fix-bug`) must be used outside plan mode. Please exit plan mode first." - `ExitPlanMode` is in the deferred tools list → not in plan mode → proceed. ## Workflow **Recording implementation notes:** Notes for this run go in `<scratchpad>/implementation-notes.md`, where `<scratchpad>` is the scratchpad directory listed in your system prompt (write its absolute path literally). Immediately before your **first** append in this run — and only then — delete that file if it exists (usually it will not), so this run starts from an empty one: every `/fix-bug`, `/refine-tests`, and plan-file run in the session shares this file, so an earlier run abandoned before its Implementation Notes step would otherwise leak its notes into this one. Never delete it again… …

How to install
mdr add nowsprinting/unity-coding-skills/fix-bug@sha256:37287d8ad53b5c99The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.1a93bbe, 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.
