About

orch-fix-defect is a Claude Code skill that orchestrates fixing a bug by reproducing it as a failing regression test, fixing to green, reviewing, and gated-committing. It is a thin wrapper over the shared orch-pipeline engine that delegates each phase to the matching ECC agent, scoping unclear root causes with code-explorer and escalating build breaks to build-error-resolver. A developer uses it when existing behavior is broken (wrong output, an error, a crash, or a regression), distinct from changing or adding a feature.

  • Orchestrates fixing a bug by reproducing it as a failing regression test, then fixing to green
  • Delegates each phase to the matching ECC agent through the shared orch-pipeline engine
  • Escalates unclear root cause to code-explorer and build breaks to build-error-resolver; commits with a fix: prefix

What it does

Orchestrate fixing a bug by writing a failing regression test, fixing to green, reviewing, and committing.

Who is it for?

Fixing broken behavior - wrong output, an error, a crash, or a regression - with a reproducing regression test.

Skip if: Changing correct-but-undesired behavior (orch-change-feature) or adding a new capability (orch-add-feature).

When should I use this skill?

Something is broken: wrong output, an error, a crash, or a regression.

What you get

A reproducing regression test that fails then passes after the fix, reviewed and committed with a fix: prefix.

  • Failing regression test
  • fix to green
  • code review and gated commit with fix: prefix

By the numbers

  • Phase mask 0-(light 2)-4-5-6
  • default size floor small
  • commits with a fix: prefix

orch-fix-defect

Actor · action · target: orch · fix · defect. Thin wrapper over the shared engine in `orch-pipeline`.

When to Use

  • Something is broken: wrong output, an error, a crash, a regression.
  • Distinguish from siblings:
  • behavior is correct but you want it different → orch-change-feature.
  • the capability does not exist yet → orch-add-feature.

Operation settings

  • Default size floor: small (often trivial).
  • Phase mask: 0 → (light 2 only if root cause is non-obvious or standard+) →

4 → 5 → 6. Research (1) is usually skipped.

  • First move (phase 4): reproduce the bug as a new failing test

(regression test), then fix until it goes green. Proving the bug exists first is what separates a fix from a tweak.

How It Works

1. Run the orch-pipeline engine with the settings above. 2. If the root cause is unclear, scope it with code-explorer before the red test; escalate build breaks to build-error-resolver / /build-fix. 3. Stop at Gate 1 (only if a plan was produced) and Gate 2 (pre-commit). 4. Add security-reviewer if the defect sits in a security-sensitive path.

Example

orch-fix-defect: poller crashes on empty NWS response
→ write failing test reproducing the crash → fix to green
→ code-review → commit  [GATE 2: confirm]   (commit: fix:)

FAQ

What is its first move?

Reproduce the bug as a new failing regression test, then fix until it goes green.

What if the root cause is unclear?

It scopes the root cause with code-explorer before the red test and escalates build breaks to build-error-resolver or /build-fix.
