| description | Guide for fixing bugs in ClaudeBar following Chicago School TDD and rich domain design. Use this skill when:
(1) User reports a bug or unexpected behavior
(2) Fixing a defect in existing functionality
(3) User asks "fix this bug" or "this doesn't work correctly"
(4) Correcting behavior that violates the user's mental model
|
Fix Bug in ClaudeBar
Fix bugs using Chicago School TDD, root cause analysis, and rich domain design.
Workflow
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. REPRODUCE & UNDERSTAND │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ • Reproduce the bug │

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2. WRITE FAILING TEST (Red) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ • Write test that exposes the bug │
│ • Test should FAIL before fix │
│ • Test should verify CORRECT behavior │

Phase 1: Reproduce & Understand
Identify the Bug
- Reproduce: Follow exact steps to trigger the bug
- Expected: What SHOULD happen (user's mental model)
- Actual: What IS happening (current behavior)
- Root cause: WHY it's happening (code analysis)
Locate in Architecture
Reference: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
| Layer | Location | What to look for |
|---|
| Domain | Sources/Domain/ | Incorrect business logic, missing invariants |
| Infrastructure | Sources/Infrastructure/ | Parsing errors, CLI/API issues |
| App | Sources/App/ | View state issues, binding problems |
Domain Invariants
Check if the bug violates domain invariants that should be maintained:
Phase 2: Write Failing Test (Red)
Chicago School TDD
We follow Chicago School TDD (state-based testing):
- Test state changes and return values, not interactions
- Focus on the "what" (observable outcomes), not the "how" (method calls)
- Mocks stub dependencies to return data, not to verify calls
- No
verify() calls - assert on resulting state instead
Test Pattern
Test the CORRECT behavior, not the bug:
@Suite
struct {Component}Tests {
@Test func `{describes correct behavior}`() {
let settings = makeSettingsRepository()
let claude = ClaudeProvider(probe: MockUsageProbe(), settingsRepository: settings)
claude.isEnabled = false
let monitor = QuotaMonitor(providers: AIProviders(providers: [claude, codex]))
#expect(monitor.selectedProviderId == "codex")
}
}
Test Location
| Bug Location | Test Location |
|---|
Sources/Domain/Monitor/ | Tests/DomainTests/Monitor/ |
Sources/Domain/Provider/ | Tests/DomainTests/Provider/ |
Sources/Infrastructure/CLI/ | Tests/InfrastructureTests/CLI/ |
Run Test (Should FAIL)
swift test --filter "{TestSuiteName}"
Phase 3: Fix & Verify (Green)
Fix Guidelines
- Minimal change: Fix only what's broken
- Domain first: Prefer fixing in domain layer when possible
- Maintain invariants: Domain should be self-validating
- No over-engineering: Don't refactor unrelated code
Domain Design Principles
When fixing domain bugs, ensure:
public init(...) {
selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded()
}
public func setProviderEnabled(_ id: String, enabled: Bool) {
provider.isEnabled = enabled
if !enabled {
selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded()
}
}
private func selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded() { ... }
Verify Fix
swift test --filter "{TestSuiteName}"
swift test
