About this skill
The Bug Report & Issue Triage Skill helps developers, QA testers, support teams, and founders turn vague bug reports, user complaints, console errors, terminal logs, and QA notes into clear, developer-ready issue tickets. It separates observed facts from assumptions, defines expected and actual behavior, extracts or requests reproduction steps, classifies bug type, and proposes severity and priority based on the evidence actually provided. Rather than guessing at root causes or inventing missing details, the skill clearly flags what information is still needed and asks for it directly, while reminding users to redact secrets and private data from any logs or screenshots they share. It supports common issue trackers such as GitHub Issues, Jira, Linear, Trello, Notion, GitLab, and Bitbucket, making it useful for anyone who needs to hand off a rough bug report to an engineering team without losing important detail or overstating what's actually known.
What it does
This skill takes a raw bug report, user complaint, screenshot description, console error, or QA note and turns it into a structured issue ticket, including a specific title and summary, expected versus actual behavior, reproduction steps, environment details, evidence, a proposed bug type, severity and priority, an explicitly labeled root cause hypothesis where relevant, a list of missing information, and acceptance checks that define when the bug can be closed.

Examples
A user said: "The download button does not work." This happened on a PiSkill skill detail page. I do not have logs yet. I want to create a developer ticket without inventing details.
Title: Download button does not complete download on PiSkill skill detail page Summary: A user reported that the download button does not work on a PiSkill skill detail page. Current evidence is limited, so reproduction steps and environment details need confirmation before assigning a root cause. Expected behavior: When the user clicks the download button, the skill ZIP should download successfully. Actual behavior: The user reports that the download button does not work. Exact error, browser, file, and route are not provided. Missing information: Affected skill page URL, browser/device, whether the issue happens for all skills or one skill, console/network errors, and whether the ZIP exists in storage. Acceptance checks: Clicking the download button downloads the correct ZIP file, no console/network error appears, and the behavior works on desktop and mobile.
Known limitations
