Report a Compound Engineering Plugin Bug

Report bugs encountered while using the compound-engineering plugin. This skill gathers structured information and creates a GitHub issue for the maintainer.

Step 1: Gather Bug Information

Ask the user the following questions using ask_user_input. Fall back to numbered options in chat only when the tool call errors (e.g., tool unavailable). Never silently skip the question:

Question 1: Bug Category

• What type of issue are you experiencing?
• Options: Agent not working, Command not working, Skill not working, MCP server issue, Installation problem, Other

Question 2: Specific Component

• Which specific component is affected?
• Ask for the name of the agent, command, skill, or MCP server

Question 3: What Happened (Actual Behavior)

• Ask: "What happened when you used this component?"
• Get a clear description of the actual behavior

Question 4: What Should Have Happened (Expected Behavior)

• Ask: "What did you expect to happen instead?"
• Get a clear description of expected behavior

Question 5: Steps to Reproduce

• Ask: "What steps did you take before the bug occurred?"
• Get reproduction steps

Question 6: Error Messages

• Ask: "Did you see any error messages? If so, please share them."
• Capture any error output

Step 2: Collect Environment Information

Automatically gather environment details. Detect the coding agent platform and collect what is available:

OS info (all platforms):

uname -a

Plugin version: Read the plugin manifest or installed plugin metadata. Common locations:

• UGENT: ~/.ugent/skills/compound-engineering/ (check for version file or manifest)
• Other platforms: check platform plugin directory

Agent CLI version: Run UGENT's version command:

• UGENT: ugent --version
• Other: check platform version
• Other platforms: use the appropriate CLI version flag

If any of these fail, note "unknown" and continue — do not block the report.

Step 3: Format the Bug Report

Create a well-structured bug report with:

## Bug Description

**Component:** [Type] - [Name]
**Summary:** [Brief description from argument or collected info]

## Environment

- **Plugin Version:** [from plugin manifest/registry]
- **Agent Platform:** [e.g., UGENT, or other platform]
- **Agent Version:** [from CLI version command]
- **OS:** [from uname]

## What Happened

[Actual behavior description]

## Expected Behavior

[Expected behavior description]

## Steps to Reproduce

1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]

## Error Messages

[Any error output]

## Additional Context

[Any other relevant information]

Step 4: Create GitHub Issue

Use the GitHub CLI to create the issue:

gh issue create \
  --repo EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin \
  --title "[compound-engineering] Bug: [Brief description]" \
  --body "[Formatted bug report from Step 3]" \
  --label "bug,compound-engineering"

Note: If labels don't exist, create without labels:

gh issue create \
  --repo EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin \
  --title "[compound-engineering] Bug: [Brief description]" \
  --body "[Formatted bug report]"

Step 5: Confirm Submission

After the issue is created:

1. Display the issue URL to the user
2. Thank them for reporting the bug
3. Let them know the maintainer (Kieran Klaassen) will be notified

Output Format

Bug report submitted successfully!

Issue: https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/issues/[NUMBER]
Title: [compound-engineering] Bug: [description]

Thank you for helping improve the compound-engineering plugin!
The maintainer will review your report and respond as soon as possible.

Error Handling

• If gh CLI is not installed or not authenticated: prompt the user to install/authenticate first
• If issue creation fails: display the formatted report so the user can manually create the issue
• If required information is missing: re-prompt for that specific field
