description	Use when investigating a bug report or vague issue to find reproduction steps, root cause, scope, and a fix plan.

Issue Triage

Turn a vague report into an actionable engineering task.

Workflow:

• Capture actual behavior, expected behavior, and reproduction steps.
• Reproduce when feasible before diagnosing.
• Trace the relevant code path.
• Identify likely root cause and uncertainty.
• Define a minimal fix plan and verification path.

Output:

• Problem summary
• Reproduction status
• Root cause analysis
• Proposed fix
• Tests or checks to add
• Open questions

Avoid:

• Filing or modifying remote issues without explicit user approval.
• Treating symptoms as root cause.
• Over-interviewing when the code can answer the question.
