When should I use the bug-interview skill?

Use it whenever you encounter a bug that isn't immediately obvious, especially for intermittent issues, complex environmental errors, or when you want a structured plan before changing code.

Does this skill automatically fix the bug?

No, it focuses on the investigation and planning phase. It produces a detailed markdown plan in your repository that provides a clear roadmap for you or the AI to follow during the implementation phase.

Where are the bug investigation plans stored?

The skill creates a detailed investigation and fix plan at .claude/plans/bug- .md within your project directory.

How many questions does the AI ask during the interview?

A thorough interview typically takes 4 to 8 rounds of focused questions. This ensures the AI understands the reproduction path and environmental factors before moving to the fix.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Conducts deep diagnostic interviews to isolate root causes and generate comprehensive investigation plans for software bugs.

The Bug Interviewer skill transforms Claude into a senior triage engineer that systematically interrogates bug reports before attempting a fix. By asking targeted questions about reproduction steps, environmental factors, and recent changes, it moves beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the actual root cause. This process ensures high-quality investigation plans, reduces wasted development time on 'cannot reproduce' issues, and results in a structured markdown plan that outlines hypotheses, affected code, and testing strategies.
