The user input to you can be provided directly by the agent or as a command argument - you MUST consider it before proceeding with the prompt (if not empty).

User input:

$ARGUMENTS

The text the user typed after /speckit.workflows.bugfix (or /speckit.bugfix) in the triggering message is the bug description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

Given that bug description, do this:

1. Run the script .specify/extensions/workflows/scripts/bash/create-bugfix.sh from repo root and parse its JSON output for BUG_ID, BRANCH_NAME, and BUG_REPORT_FILE. All file paths must be absolute. IMPORTANT You must only ever run this script once. The JSON is provided in the terminal as output - always refer to it to get the actual content you're looking for.

2. Load .specify/extensions/workflows/templates/bugfix/bug-report-template.md to understand required sections.

3. Write the bug report to BUG_REPORT_FILE using the template structure, replacing placeholders with concrete details derived from the bug description (arguments) while preserving section order and headings.

   • Extract current behavior, expected behavior, and reproduction steps from description
   • Mark severity based on description keywords (crash/data loss = Critical, broken feature = High, etc.)
   • Leave root cause analysis empty (to be filled during investigation)
   • Leave fix strategy empty (to be filled during planning)

4. Report completion with Next Steps:

Bug fix workflow initialized

**Branch**: [BRANCH_NAME]
**Bug ID**: [BUG_ID]
**Bug Report**: [BUG_REPORT_FILE]

**Next Steps:**
1. Review and investigate the bug
2. Update bug-report.md with root cause analysis
3. Run `/speckit.plan` to create fix plan (include regression test strategy)
4. Run `/speckit.tasks` to break down the fix into tasks
5. Run `/speckit.implement` to execute the fix

**Reminder**: Write regression test BEFORE implementing fix

Note: The script creates and checks out the new branch before writing files.
