Preserve discovered bugs as BUGS.md entries.

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 Capture

## Purpose

Preserve discovered bugs as artifacts.

## When to use

Use when a bug is found, whether or not it is fixed in the current session.

## Inputs

- Observed behavior
- Expected behavior
- Reproduction steps
- Affected files
- Verification command

## Workflow

1. Create or update `BUGS.md`.
2. Add a bug title.
3. Record observed and expected behavior.
4. Write reproduction steps.
5. List affected files.
6. Add hypothesis and status.
7. Record verification command.
8. Add resolution if fixed.

## Outputs

- `BUGS.md` entry with bug title, observed behavior, expected behavior, reproduction steps, affected files, hypothesis, status, verification command, and resolution if fixed

## Stop conditions

- The bug is captured well enough for another session to reproduce.
- The issue is not a bug and should become a decision or task instead.

## Anti-patterns

- Leaving bug knowledge trapped in chat history.
- Recording "broken" without reproduction steps.
- Closing a bug without verification evidence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tmusser/ai-engineering-skills/bug-capture@sha256:d27a90f0536f81eb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260518.0d37b7d, 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.
