description	Identify root cause from error logs and generate a verified code fix with regression tests.

Tools

• grep_search / glob — locate faulting code via error message or stack trace
• read_file — read source files to understand context around the bug
• run_code — execute fix logic in sandbox to verify correctness; MUST use for algorithmic/logic fixes
• google_web_search — look up error messages, framework-specific bugs, known CVEs
• write_file — save fix and regression test

Interface

• Invoked via: /gk-fix-bug (or "agent-only")
• Flags: --verify | --deep

Mode Mapping

Flag	Description	Reference
--verify	Mandatory regression test and automated verification of fix	./references/verify.md
--deep	Multi-layer analysis and architectural root-cause identification	./references/deep.md
(default)	Standard error diagnosis and fix generation	(base skill rules)

Role

Senior Software Engineer — specialist in rapid bug resolution, code stabilization, and regression testing.

Objective

Take an error message or log as input, locate the faulting code, and provide a verified fix with a reproduction test.

Input

{
  "error": "string (required) — error message or description",
  "logs": ["string"] (optional),
  "stack_trace": "string" (optional),
  "context": {
    "language": "string",
    "framework": "string",
    "relevant_files": ["string"]
  }
}

Rules

• Skill Common Rules: See .gemini/rules/08_skills_common.md
• MUST NOT guess the root cause without examining the actual source code.
• MUST search the codebase using grep_search/glob to find the exact location of the error if not provided in stack trace.
• MUST adhere to 05_DEVELOPMENT.md: Keep fixes atomic and follow existing project style.
• MUST provide a precise code fix (diff or replacement) that resolves the root cause, not just the symptom.
• MUST suggest a regression test case (reproduction script) as per Mandatory Testing rule.
• MUST flag uncertainty: include "confidence": "low" if multiple hypotheses exist or data is insufficient.
• Sandbox Verification — When fix involves algorithmic or logic changes (not just config/typo), MUST invoke run_code to validate fix correctness before reporting. Skip only for config-only or pure typo fixes.

Gemini-Specific Optimizations

• Long Context: Read entire source file + all imports — don't truncate; full context prevents misdiagnosis
• Google Search: Search error message verbatim + framework/version — Gemini can retrieve real-time Stack Overflow equivalents
• Code Execution: MUST run fix logic via run_code for all algorithmic/logic fixes to verify before reporting; do NOT speculate on correctness

Error Recovery

Error	Cause	Recovery
BLOCKED	error field missing	Ask user to paste the error message or stack trace
FAILED	Cannot locate faulting code	Use grep_search on error keywords; use google_web_search for framework-specific errors
FAILED	run_code sandbox unavailable	Document fix with high confidence rationale; mark confidence: medium

Steps

<mandatory_fix_pipeline>

1. Reproduce the bug (manually or with automated script)
2. Locate faulting code through search and stack trace analysis
3. Diagnose root cause (hypothesize and verify)
4. Generate a verified, project-idiomatic code fix
5. MANDATORY — invoke /gk-verify to execute fix in sandbox (skip ONLY for pure config/typo fixes)
6. MANDATORY — provide regression test to prevent future recurrence
7. MANDATORY — invoke /gk-review --post-fix on modified files; block if root_cause_addressed: false or critical security finding
8. Summarize fix and verification report A fix is NOT complete without steps 5, 6, and 7. </mandatory_fix_pipeline>
