Fix

Workflow orchestrator for bug investigation and resolution. Chains specialized skills based on issue scope.

Usage

/fix <scope> [options] [description]

Question Flow (No Arguments)

If the user types just /fix with no or partial arguments, guide them through this question flow. Use AskUserQuestion for each phase.

Phase 0: Workflow Selection

question: "What would you like to fix?"
header: "Fix type"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose (Recommended)"
    description: "I'll ask questions to pick the right fix workflow"
  - label: "Bug - something is broken"
    description: "Chain: investigate → diagnose → implement → test → commit"
  - label: "Hook - Claude Code hook issue"
    description: "Chain: debug-hooks → hook-developer → implement → test"
  - label: "Dependencies - import/package errors"
    description: "Chain: preflight → research → plan → implement → qlty-check"
  - label: "PR Comments - address reviewer feedback"
    description: "Chain: github-search → research → plan → implement → commit"

Mapping:

• "Help me choose" → Continue to Phase 1-4 questions
• "Bug" → Set scope=bug, skip to Phase 2 (issue details)
• "Hook" → Set scope=hook, skip to Phase 2 (issue details)
• "Dependencies" → Set scope=deps, skip to Phase 2 (issue details)
• "PR Comments" → Set scope=pr-comments, skip to Phase 2 (issue details)

If Answer is Unclear (via "Other"):

question: "I want to understand what kind of fix you need. Did you mean..."
header: "Clarify"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose"
    description: "Not sure - guide me through questions"
  - label: "Bug - something is broken"
    description: "Code isn't working as expected"
  - label: "Hook - Claude Code hook issue"
    description: "Hooks not firing or producing wrong output"
  - label: "Neither - let me explain differently"
    description: "I'll describe my issue"

Phase 1: Issue Type

question: "What kind of issue are you dealing with?"
header: "Issue type"
options:
  - label: "Something is broken/not working"
    description: "Bug in the code"
  - label: "Claude Code hook not firing"
    description: "Hook-specific debugging"
  - label: "Import/dependency errors"
    description: "Package or module issues"
  - label: "Need to address PR feedback"
    description: "Reviewer comments to fix"

Mapping:

• "Something broken" → bug scope
• "Hook not firing" → hook scope
• "Import errors" → deps scope
• "PR feedback" → pr-comments scope

Phase 2: Issue Details

question: "Can you describe the issue?"
header: "Details"
options: []  # Free text - user describes the problem

Capture the error message, unexpected behavior, or PR link.

Phase 3: Investigation Depth

question: "How should I investigate?"
header: "Investigation"
options:
  - label: "Diagnose and fix"
    description: "Find the problem and implement a fix"
  - label: "Diagnose only (dry run)"
    description: "Just tell me what's wrong, don't change code"
  - label: "Quick fix"
    description: "I know the issue, just fix it fast"

Mapping:

• "Diagnose only" → --dry-run
• "Quick fix" → skip investigation, go straight to spark agent

Phase 4: Testing & Commit

question: "After fixing, should I..."
header: "After fix"
multiSelect: true
options:
  - label: "Write a regression test"
    description: "Prevent this bug from recurring"
  - label: "Commit the fix"
    description: "Create a git commit"
  - label: "Just fix, nothing else"
    description: "I'll handle tests and git"

Mapping:

• No "regression test" → --no-test
• No "commit" → --no-commit

Summary Before Execution

Based on your answers, I'll run:

**Scope:** bug
**Issue:** "Login button not responding on Safari"
**Chain:** sleuth (investigate) → spark (fix) → arbiter (test) → commit
**Options:** (none)

Proceed? [Yes / Adjust settings]

Scopes

Options

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Arguments

# Parse scope and options
SCOPE="${1:-bug}"
NO_TEST=false
DRY_RUN=false
NO_COMMIT=false

for arg in "$@"; do
  case $arg in
    --no-test) NO_TEST=true ;;
    --dry-run) DRY_RUN=true ;;
    --no-commit) NO_COMMIT=true ;;
  esac
done

Phase 2: Investigation (Parallel)

Spawn sleuth agent for parallel investigation:

Task(
  subagent_type="sleuth",
  prompt="""
  Investigate this issue in parallel:

  1. **Logs**: Check recent logs for errors
     - Application logs
     - System logs if relevant
     - Build/test output

  2. **Database State** (if applicable):
     - Check for stuck/invalid records
     - Verify schema matches expectations

  3. **Git State**:
     - Recent commits that might relate
     - Uncommitted changes
     - Current branch context

  4. **Runtime State**:
     - Running processes
     - Port conflicts
     - Environment variables

  Issue description: {user_description}

  Return structured findings with evidence.
  """
)

Phase 3: Diagnosis Report

Present findings to user:

## Diagnosis Report

### Scope: {scope}

### Evidence Found

**Logs:**
- [Finding with timestamp/line reference]

**Database:**
- [Finding with table/query reference]

**Git State:**
- [Recent relevant commits]
- [Uncommitted changes]

**Runtime:**
- [Process/port findings]

### Root Cause Analysis

**Primary Hypothesis:** [Most likely cause based on evidence]

**Supporting Evidence:**
1. [Evidence 1]
2. [Evidence 2]

**Alternative Hypotheses:**
- [Alternative 1]: [Why less likely]

### Proposed Fix

**Approach:** [How to fix]

**Files to Modify:**
- `path/to/file.ts:123` - [Change description]

**Risk Assessment:** [Low/Medium/High] - [Why]

---

**Proceed with fix?** (yes/no/modify approach)

Phase 4: Human Checkpoint (Diagnosis)

REQUIRED: Wait for user confirmation before implementing.

AskUserQuestion(
  question="Proceed with the proposed fix?",
  options=["yes", "no", "modify"]
)

If user says "modify", gather new requirements and update approach. If user says "no", create diagnostic handoff and exit. If --dry-run, create diagnostic handoff and exit here.

Phase 4.5: Risk Assessment (Premortem)

After diagnosis approval, before implementation:

Run a quick premortem on the proposed fix to catch risks:

/premortem quick

Context for premortem:

premortem:
  mode: quick
  context: "Bug fix for {diagnosis.root_cause}"

  check_for:
    - Will this fix break other functionality?
    - Is rollback possible if fix causes issues?
    - Are there related edge cases not covered?
    - Does the fix match codebase patterns?
    - Any external dependencies affected?

Risk Decision:

• No HIGH tigers: Proceed to implementation
• HIGH tigers found: Present to user with options:
• Accept risks and proceed
• Modify approach to address risks
• Research mitigation strategies

AskUserQuestion(
  question="Pre-mortem found {n} risks in the proposed fix. Proceed?",
  options=[
    "Accept risks and implement",
    "Modify fix approach",
    "Research mitigations first"
  ]
)

If "Research mitigations", spawn scout + oracle in parallel per risk, then re-present options.

Phase 5: Implementation

Route to appropriate implementation skill based on scope:

bug scope:

Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Implement fix with TDD approach.

  Root cause: {diagnosis.root_cause}
  Files: {diagnosis.files_to_modify}
  Approach: {diagnosis.approach}

  Follow implement_task workflow:
  1. Write failing test that reproduces the bug
  2. Implement minimal fix to pass test
  3. Refactor if needed
  4. Run full test suite
  """
)

hook scope:

Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Fix hook issue.

  Root cause: {diagnosis.root_cause}

  Follow hook-developer patterns:
  1. Check hook registration in settings.json
  2. Verify shell wrapper exists and is executable
  3. Test hook manually with mock input
  4. Rebuild if TypeScript source was modified
  5. Verify hook fires correctly
  """
)

deps scope:

Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Fix dependency issue.

  Root cause: {diagnosis.root_cause}

  Follow plan-agent workflow:
  1. Research correct dependency versions
  2. Create implementation plan
  3. Update lockfiles
  4. Run dependency-preflight
  5. Run qlty-check
  """
)

pr-comments scope:

Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Address PR feedback.

  Comments: {diagnosis.pr_comments}

  Follow plan-agent workflow:
  1. Research codebase for context
  2. Create implementation plan for each comment
  3. Implement changes
  4. Commit with reference to comment
  """
)

Phase 6: Regression Test (unless --no-test)

Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Create regression test for the fix.

  Bug: {original_issue}
  Fix: {implementation_summary}

  Follow test-driven-development:
  1. Write test that would have caught this bug
  2. Verify test fails against pre-fix code (mentally)
  3. Verify test passes against fixed code
  4. Test should be minimal and focused
  """
)

Phase 7: Human Checkpoint (Verification)

AskUserQuestion(
  question="Fix implemented. Please verify and confirm.",
  options=["looks good", "needs adjustment", "revert"]
)

If "needs adjustment", gather feedback and return to Phase 5. If "revert", run rollback command and exit.

Phase 8: Commit (unless --no-commit)

Task(
  subagent_type="general-purpose",
  prompt="""
  Follow commit skill:

  1. Review changes with git diff
  2. Create descriptive commit message
  3. Reference issue/ticket if applicable
  4. Present plan and await confirmation
  5. Execute commit

Handoff Creation

Always create a handoff, even with --dry-run:

---
session: fix-{scope}-{short-description}
ts: {ISO timestamp}
commit: {git commit hash}
branch: {git branch}
status: {complete|partial|blocked|diagnosis-only}
---

scope: {bug|hook|deps|pr-comments}
options: {flags used}

issue:
  description: {original user description}
  evidence: {key findings from investigation}

diagnosis:
  root_cause: {identified cause}
  hypothesis: {why we think this}
  files: [{affected files}]

fix:
  approach: {what was done}
  files_modified: [{files changed}]
  test_added: {test file if created}

verification:
  test_command: {command to verify}
  human_confirmed: {true|false}

next:
  - {any follow-up needed}

Location: thoughts/shared/handoffs/fix/{scope}/{timestamp}_{description}.yaml

Examples

Basic Bug Fix

/fix bug
# -> Investigates, diagnoses, implements, tests, commits

Diagnose Only

/fix bug --dry-run
# -> Investigates, creates diagnosis handoff, stops

Fix Without Auto-Commit

/fix hook --no-commit
# -> Full fix workflow but stops before commit

Quick Fix (No Regression Test)

/fix bug --no-test
# -> Implements fix, commits, no regression test

Address PR Comments

/fix pr-comments
# -> Fetches PR, creates plan, implements, commits
