Repo-specific bug reproduction guidance for warp

Scope — GUI desktop app only. This skill applies to Warp's GUI desktop front-end (the app/ crate on the WarpUI pixel/GPU framework). It does not apply to the headless TUI front-end (crates/warp_tui; cell-grid TuiElement library under crates/warpui_core/src/elements/tui), which has its own components, tests, and change-verification workflow. For TUI work, see the tui-ui-guidelines, tui-testing, and tui-verify-change skills instead.

Prerequisite: install the parent skill

This skill specializes the core reproduce-bug-report skill (named in the specializes frontmatter field) and is not functional on its own. Before applying its guidance, confirm the parent skill is installed and resolvable at .agents/skills/reproduce-bug-report/SKILL.md. If it is missing, install it first by copying the skill directory from the source declared in the specializes_source frontmatter field (warpdotdev/common-skills:.agents/skills/reproduce-bug-report). Then continue with the guidance below.

This file is a companion to the core reproduce-bug-report skill. It does not redefine the shared Oz computer-use orchestration, artifact handling, safety rules, or reporting format. It specializes scope and setup for Warp bug reports.

Scope

• Use this workflow only for Warp bugs that can be exercised while the app remains logged out.
• Apply it to UI-visible Warp bugs, interaction bugs, rendering/layout bugs, logged-out onboarding bugs, settings bugs, editor/display bugs, terminal-display bugs, and other visual or interactive issues where screenshots or recordings would help.
• Do not use it for authenticated-user flows, account-specific state, cloud-synced state, logged-in onboarding, or AI behaviors that require login.
• If a report requires authentication, account state, cloud sync, or another logged-in-only capability, do not launch a repro agent with this local specialization; report that it is out of scope for the current logged-out Warp workflow.

Warp version and install strategy

• Prefer reproducing against the exact Warp version/build and channel reported by the user.
• Do not build Warp from source by default. Install the matching Linux package or binary release for the reporter's version/channel instead.
• If the bug report names a macOS or Windows build, use the corresponding Linux build from the same version/channel when a matching Linux artifact exists, and state that this is a Linux proxy for the reporter's platform.
• Use the repository's or Warp release tooling/docs available in the environment to find and install the exact versioned Linux artifact. Do not silently substitute the latest stable build when an exact matching version can be installed.
• If the exact version/build cannot be found or installed, report that clearly, explain what was attempted, and use the closest justified fallback only when it is useful for continuing the investigation.
• Record the requested reporter Warp version, the installed Linux version, the source of the installed artifact, and any fallback decision in the manifest and final report.

Logged-out Warp baseline

• Keep Warp logged out for the entire repro attempt. Do not create an account, sign in, paste auth tokens, or use real user credentials.
• Launch Warp and complete the login-free / continue-without-account onboarding path until a normal logged-out terminal session is usable.
• Capture a post-onboarding baseline screenshot before attempting the bug-specific reproduction.
• If the assigned bug cannot be exercised after entering a normal logged-out Warp session, stop and report the blocker instead of improvising an authenticated flow.

Local prompt additions

When applying the core skill to Warp, ensure the parent prompt and child prompts include:

• Reporter Warp version/build/channel: the exact value from the report, or unknown.
• Build/app target: the exact versioned Linux Warp package/binary to install, or the justified fallback if an exact artifact is unavailable.
• Assigned Warp state: first-run logged-out state, completed logged-out onboarding, terminal/session/layout/settings state, or the targeted code-path hypothesis.
• A reminder that Warp must remain logged out and that logged-in-only reports are blocked for this specialization.

Local reproduction priorities

• Match the reporter's Warp version/build/channel before broadening the search space.
• Follow the issue's exact steps first, then test at most two targeted variations supported by the issue or by a code-path hypothesis.
• Prefer targeted hypotheses derived from Warp UI strings, settings names, feature names, telemetry names, route names, and relevant components over broad exploratory clicking.
• In the final report, include:
  • the reporter-requested Warp version/build/channel
  • the installed Linux Warp version/build/channel
  • the package or binary source
  • whether a fallback was used
  • whether the test was a Linux proxy for a macOS or Windows report
