Structured workflow for analyzing a Jam bug report end-to-end — pulls diagnostics from the Jam MCP server (console, network, user events, screenshots, video frames, transcript) and produces a root-cause hypothesis. Invoke with `/investigate-bug <jam-url-or-id>`.

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

# Investigate Bug

A structured workflow for investigating Jam bug reports. Invoke with `/investigate-bug <jam-url-or-id>`.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get the Bug Report

Call `getDetails` with the provided Jam URL or ID. A full `https://jam.dev/c/...` URL or a UUID both work.

From the response, extract:
- **Description** — what the reporter said
- **Type** — `video`, `screenshot`, or `replay`
- **Device info** — browser, OS, screen size
- **Investigation Guide** — server-recommended next steps, returned as the second text block
- **Postprocessing status** — for fresh Jams, some event-backed tools may report "not ready yet"

### Step 2: Follow the Investigation Guide

The `getDetails` response includes an Investigation Guide built from real signals in the Jam (console error counts, 4xx/5xx ranges per host, mic enabled, etc.). **Treat it as authoritative** — the steps below are fallbacks for when the guide is light or you want to drill deeper.

- Each path specifies a **tool** to call, suggested **arguments**, and **what to look for**.
- Investigate `high` priority paths first; defer `medium` until they're exhausted.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamdotdev/skills/investigate-bug@sha256:2ff66b18f291b39e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.dd77fcf, 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.
