Fixes a bug by reproducing it in a failing test first, then making the smallest change that turns it green. Use when something is "broken", "wrong", "fails", "doesn't work", throws an error, or a user or issue reports a bug.
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
# Fix a bug ## 1. Restate the symptom Write down what happens, what should happen, and the command that triggers it (`td <command> <args>`). If the report is vague, restate it to the owner and ask before going further. Done when the symptom fits in one sentence. ## 2. Reproduce it in a test Write a test that fails on the exact symptom, at the lowest layer that shows it: - a helper in `src/lib/` → its `*.test.ts` next to it; - a command's flags, API calls or output → the command's test, through `program.parseAsync(['node', 'td', ...])` with `setupApiMock()`; - argv parsing, global flags or the JSON error envelope of the built CLI → `src/index.integration.test.ts`. Follow `write-tests` for helpers and the quality bar. Run the test and see it fail **for the reason in step 1**, not a typo or a missing mock. Done when the failure message describes the bug. ## 3. Find the root cause Trace from the symptom to the first place the data goes wrong. Name it with `path:line`. A fix at the symptom (a special case, a retry, a try/catch) is not a root cause. Done when you can say why the code does what it does. ## 4. Make the smallest fix …

How to install
mdr add doist/todoist-cli/fix-bug@sha256:bcc96f57ca014b45The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.582c0e7, 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.
