/gobby:bug - Create Bug Task

Create a bug/defect task with the provided title and optional description.

Usage

/gobby:bug <title>
/gobby:bug <title> - <description>

Examples

/gobby:bug Fix login timeout
/gobby:bug Database connection drops - Users report intermittent connection failures after 5 minutes of inactivity

Tool Schema Reminder

First time calling a tool this session? Use get_tool_schema(server_name, tool_name) before call_tool to get correct parameters. Schemas are cached per session—no need to refetch.

Action

Create a bug task with the following parameters:

• title: The bug title from user input
• task_type: "bug"
• priority: 1 (high - bugs are important)

Parse the user input:

• Try splitting on common delimiter patterns: -, --, — (em dash), – (en dash)
• Use regex pattern \s*[-–—]+\s* to split once (first match only)
• If a delimiter is found, assign the left part as title and right part as description
• If no delimiter is found, use entire input as title and set description to null

call_tool(
    server_name="gobby-tasks",
    tool_name="create_task",
    arguments={
        "title": "<parsed title>",
        "description": "<parsed description or null>",  # Use null, not empty string
        "task_type": "bug",
        "priority": 1,
        "session_id": "<session_id>"  # Required - from session context
    }
)

Error Handling

Missing session_id

The session_id parameter is required. If session context is unavailable:

1. User-facing error: Display "Session context unavailable — please sign in or retry"
2. Behavior: Fail gracefully with a clear error message; do not create partial tasks
3. Fallback options:
   • Prompt the user to provide a session ID manually
   • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff if the session service is temporarily unavailable
   • Check get_current_session from gobby-sessions to obtain or refresh the session

# Example error handling
session_id = get_session_context()
if not session_id:
    return error("Session context unavailable — please sign in or retry")

After creating, confirm with the task reference (e.g., "Created bug #123: Fix login timeout").
