Gini Bug Report

File a Gini crash that was captured locally — and redacted at capture time — as a GitHub issue, but only after the user says yes. This skill is the consent-aware orchestration layer on top of the github-issues skill: it reads the pending crash queue, summarizes it for the user, and on a "yes" delegates the actual gh filing to github-issues. It never invents crash data and never re-reads raw logs.

When To Use

• The crash-report consent flow invoked you: on restart of the default instance, Gini posted a chat message asking whether to file captured crash(es). The user replied in that thread — act on their answer here.
• The user explicitly asks to report a captured crash ("file that crash", "report the crash you found").

When NOT to Use

• General GitHub issue work (create/search/triage/label/close) → use the github-issues skill directly; this skill only files queued crashes.
• A non-crash bug report, feature request, or any issue not already sitting in the crash queue → use github-issues and write the body yourself.
• Anything that would need un-redacted data (raw runtime.jsonl, secrets, full logs) → out of scope. The queued report is the trust boundary; never go around it.
• Proactively scanning the queue or nagging the user → don't. Only act when invoked by the consent flow or an explicit request.

The crash queue

Approved terminal_exec runs with the working directory set to the workspace root — not this skill's directory and not the crash directory. Address the queue by ABSOLUTE path. Define it once and reuse it:

QUEUE="${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports"

Layout:

• $QUEUE/pending/*.json — captured crashes awaiting a consent decision.
• $QUEUE/filed/ — reports the user agreed to file (moved here after a successful gh filing).
• $QUEUE/dismissed/ — reports the user declined.

Each pending file is one JSON crash report with this shape (field names are exact):

{ instance, source, supervisor, fingerprint, at,
  error: { name, message, stack },
  sysInfo: { platform, arch, nodeVersion, giniCommit },
  logTail: [ { at, message }, ... ] }

The report is ALREADY redacted at capture time. Secrets, tokens, bearer headers, and the data payload of every log line were stripped before the file was written. Pass these fields through to the issue as-is. Do NOT re-fetch raw logs, runtime.jsonl, secrets, or anything outside $QUEUE — this report is published to GitHub, so the queued JSON is the only data you are allowed to use.

1. List pending crashes

Read the queue and summarize each distinct crash for the user. Always quote the file path so step 5 can resolve it later.

QUEUE="${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports"
shopt -s nullglob
pending=("$QUEUE/pending"/*.json)
if [ ${#pending[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "No pending crash reports."
else
  for f in "${pending[@]}"; do
    jq -r '"\(input_filename)
  source:      \(.source)
  error:       \(.error.name): \(.error.message)
  at:          \(.at)
  fingerprint: \(.fingerprint)
"' "$f"
  done
fi

If the queue is empty, tell the user there's nothing to report and stop — do not file anything.

Multiple pending files can share one fingerprint (the same crash recurring). Group by fingerprint — you file one issue per distinct fingerprint (see step 3), not one per file.

2. Confirm intent — and scope to the asked fingerprints

The restart consent flow already asked the user the "want me to file this?" question, so on this turn you are acting on their reply:

• The user said yes (or "report it", "go ahead") → proceed to step 3.
• The user said no (or "don't", "skip it") → file nothing; mark the report(s) dismissed (step 5).

File ONLY the fingerprints the consent named. The consent message in this conversation listed the specific crash fingerprint(s) it covers in full (e.g. The specific crash fingerprint(s) this consent covers (match these EXACTLY): <64-hex-fingerprint>, ...). A new crash can land in $QUEUE/pending between the ask and the user's "yes"; filing it would be unconsented. So when you list the queue in step 1, match each pending file's .fingerprint against the fingerprint(s) named in the consent message by EXACT, full-string equality (not by prefix — a short prefix could misattribute a later same-prefix crash to this consent). Act on those files only. You may display a shortened form to the user as cosmetic sugar, but the file/dedup decision must use the exact fingerprint. Leave any pending file whose fingerprint was not named where it is; a later consent flow will offer it.

The one exception: if the user explicitly asks to file all pending crashes ("file all of them", "report everything in the queue"), then act on every pending file.

If you were invoked manually (the user asked directly, without the consent message having been posted), ask first: summarize the pending crash(es) from step 1 and ask whether to file them. Wait for the answer before doing anything in step 3. Either way, confirm before filing.

3. On "yes" — file via github-issues

Target repository. A Gini crash is filed against the canonical Gini repo — Open-Curiosity/gini-agent — NOT whatever git remote the current workspace happens to have (the agent's working directory is a sandbox, not a Gini checkout). Pass --repo Open-Curiosity/gini-agent to every gh call below.

Do not duplicate gh mechanics here. Load the github-issues skill and follow its gh path — it handles installing gh, the interactive gh auth login degrade, idempotent label creation, and create/search:

read_skill name='github-issues'

Then, once per distinct fingerprint that the consent named (skip any pending file whose .fingerprint does not EXACTLY equal one named in the consent message, unless the user explicitly asked to file all):

1. Dedup first. Search for an existing open crash issue with the same fingerprint (per github-issues Listing and Searching). The fingerprint is embedded in the body, so search for it:

   gh issue list --repo Open-Curiosity/gini-agent --state open --label "gini-crash" \
     --search "<fingerprint> in:body" --json number,title
   

   If an open issue already carries this fingerprint, comment on it instead of opening a duplicate (per github-issues Comments) — note the recurrence and its at timestamp — then go to step 5 for the matching file(s). Quote the issue number verbatim (#N) when you tell the user.

2. Ensure the label exists (idempotently, per github-issues Labels — GitHub returns a generic 422 for an unknown label rather than creating it):

   gh label list --repo Open-Curiosity/gini-agent --search "gini-crash" | grep -q gini-crash \
     || gh label create "gini-crash" --repo Open-Curiosity/gini-agent \
         --description "Automatically captured Gini crash" --color B60205
   

3. Create the issue. Title is [gini-crash] <source>: <error.name>. Assemble the body only from the redacted report JSON — the summary, source, fingerprint, the stack, sysInfo, and the redacted log tail. Build it with jq straight from the queued file so nothing un-redacted can sneak in:

   QUEUE="${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports"
   f="$QUEUE/pending/<the-report>.json"
   
   title=$(jq -r '"[gini-crash] \(.source): \(.error.name)"' "$f")
   body=$(jq -r '
     "## Summary\n" +
     "\(.error.name): \(.error.message)\n\n" +
     "- **source:** \(.source)\n" +
     "- **instance:** \(.instance)\n" +
     "- **when:** \(.at)\n" +
     "- **fingerprint:** `\(.fingerprint)`\n\n" +
     "## Stack\n```\n\(.error.stack)\n```\n\n" +
     "## System\n" +
     "- platform: \(.sysInfo.platform) (\(.sysInfo.arch))\n" +
     "- node: \(.sysInfo.nodeVersion)\n" +
     "- gini commit: \(.sysInfo.giniCommit // "unknown")\n\n" +
     "## Recent log tail (redacted)\n```\n" +
     ((.logTail // []) | map("\(.at // "") \(.message // "")") | join("\n")) +
     "\n```\n"
   ' "$f")
   
   gh issue create --repo Open-Curiosity/gini-agent --label "gini-crash" --title "$title" --body "$body"
   

   Then resolve the file(s) for this fingerprint (step 5). Quote the new issue number (#N) when you confirm to the user.

The fingerprint carried in the body is what makes the dedup search in step 1 work for the next recurrence — always include it.

4. If gh is not authenticated

Filing needs gh signed in. Defer to github-issues' Setup for the mechanics — it installs gh itself if missing, but the sign-in is interactive. If gh auth status is not authenticated, tell the user in one line and stop; pick up once they confirm:

Run gh auth login in your terminal to sign in, then I can file the crash.

Re-run gh auth status to verify before continuing to step 3.

If the user declines to authenticate, STOP and leave the report in $QUEUE/pending/ — do NOT dismiss it. Leaving it pending lets the consent flow offer it again on a later restart. Dismissing is only for an explicit "no, don't report this".

5. Mark resolved

Resolve each report file only after its decision is final. These moves mirror the runtime's resolvePendingReport; create the sibling dir first so the move never fails.

After a successful file (or a dedup comment) for a fingerprint, move every pending file with that fingerprint into filed/:

QUEUE="${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports"
mkdir -p "$QUEUE/filed"
mv "$QUEUE/pending/<the-report>.json" "$QUEUE/filed/"

On an explicit "no", move the report(s) into dismissed/:

QUEUE="${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports"
mkdir -p "$QUEUE/dismissed"
mv "$QUEUE/pending/<the-report>.json" "$QUEUE/dismissed/"

Never delete a pending report any other way: filed → filed/, declined → dismissed/, and gh-not-authed / user-defers → leave it in pending/.

Rules

1. The queued report is already redacted. Never attach, re-derive, or re-fetch un-redacted data — no raw runtime.jsonl, no secrets, no logs outside $QUEUE. The issue body comes only from the queued JSON.
2. Always address the queue by ABSOLUTE path (${GINI_STATE_ROOT:-$HOME/.gini}/crash-reports). terminal_exec runs from the workspace root, so relative paths will miss the queue.
3. Never put a token on a command line or in an issue/comment body. Let gh use its stored credential (per github-issues).
4. One issue per distinct fingerprint. Search the existing open gini-crash issues for the fingerprint first; comment on a match rather than opening a duplicate.
5. File only the fingerprints the consent named. The consent message lists the full crash fingerprint(s) it covers; match each pending file's .fingerprint by EXACT, full-string equality and act on those files only. A crash that landed after the ask is unconsented — leave it pending. The sole exception is an explicit "file all" from the user.
6. Confirm before filing. Act on the user's consent-flow reply, or — if invoked manually — ask first and wait.
7. Quote issue numbers verbatim (#N) in replies so GitHub deeplinks resolve them.
