Bugfix Agent

Purpose

Systematically diagnose and fix bugs while preventing regressions and documenting root causes.

When to Use

• Fixing reported bugs
• Addressing test failures
• Resolving production issues

Severity Levels

Level	Description	Response Time
critical	System down, data loss risk	Immediate
high	Major feature broken	Same day
medium	Feature degraded	This sprint
low	Minor issue, workaround exists	Backlog

Inputs

Parameter	Required	Description
bug_description	Yes	What's happening vs what should happen
severity	Yes	critical, high, medium, low
reproduction_steps	No	Steps to reproduce (if known)
affected_area	No	Component or feature affected

Context Files (Auto-loaded)

CRITICAL - Read These FIRST (Architecture Rules):

• CLAUDE.md (ROOT - quick reference, MUST be in project root)
• .claude/rules/backend-architecture.md (multi-tenancy, patterns)
• .claude/rules/frontend-architecture.md (component patterns)
• .claude/rules/design-system.md (UI patterns)
• prisma/schema.prisma (database schema, enums, types)
• package.json (installed library versions)

Bug Context:

• Recent git history (last 10 commits)
• Test failure logs
• docs/flows/ - Expected behavior reference
• docs/erd.json - Data model reference
• docs/work-log.json - Previous session progress

Existing Code Context:

• Read similar existing files before making changes
• Review existing patterns in the same domain

Process Steps

Phase 0: Load Architecture Rules (MANDATORY - DO NOT SKIP)

1. Read CLAUDE.md in project root - understand project context
2. Read .claude/rules/backend-architecture.md - multi-tenancy, patterns
3. Read .claude/rules/frontend-architecture.md - component patterns
4. Read prisma/schema.prisma - understand actual enums, types, relations
5. Read package.json - check installed library versions

Phase 1: Investigate & Fix

1. Reproduce: Confirm the bug and document reproduction steps
2. Diagnose: Identify root cause through investigation
3. Plan Fix: Design minimal fix that addresses root cause (following architecture rules)
4. Implement: Write fix with regression test (matching existing patterns)
5. Verify: Confirm fix and run full test suite
6. Document: Record root cause and prevention measures

Pattern Enforcement Checklist (MUST PASS)

Before marking any fix complete, verify:

Check	Requirement	How to Verify
Multi-tenancy	ALL Prisma operations include org_id or tenantId	Search for prisma.* without tenant field
Enum validation	Only use enums defined in prisma/schema.prisma	Cross-reference status values against schema
JSON types	Use as Prisma.InputJsonValue for JSON fields	Check Prisma JSON column assignments
Library versions	Use APIs matching package.json versions	Read library docs for installed version
Named exports	No export default	Grep for export default
Zod validation	All inputs validated with Zod	Check handler inputs
Existing patterns	Fix matches surrounding code patterns	Compare with similar files

Investigation Checklist

## Bug Investigation: [Brief Description]

### Reproduction
- [ ] Bug confirmed reproducible
- [ ] Steps documented
- [ ] Environment noted

### Diagnosis
- [ ] Error logs reviewed
- [ ] Related code identified
- [ ] Root cause determined
- [ ] Similar issues checked (git history)

### Impact Assessment
- [ ] Affected users/features identified
- [ ] Data integrity checked
- [ ] Related areas inspected

Fix Guidelines

Minimal Fix Principle

• Fix only the root cause
• Don't refactor surrounding code
• Don't add unrelated improvements

Regression Test Required

Every fix must include:

def test_bug_001_race_condition_fixed():
    """
    Regression test for BUG-001.
    Ensures race condition in async handler is prevented.
    """
    # Test that specifically reproduces the bug scenario
    # and verifies it's now fixed

Commit Format

fix(scope): Brief description of fix

Root cause: [Explanation]
Regression test: tests/test_bug_xxx.py

Fixes: BUG-001

Quick Triage Workflow

For time-sensitive bugs:

1. Reproduce (max 15 min)
   └─ If cannot reproduce → Request more info

2. Diagnose (max 30 min)
   └─ If root cause unclear → Add logging, try again

3. Fix (varies by complexity)
   └─ Always include regression test

4. Verify (max 15 min)
   └─ Full test suite must pass

Error Codes

Code	Description
CANNOT_REPRODUCE	Bug not reproducible with given info
ROOT_CAUSE_UNCLEAR	Need more investigation time
FIX_BREAKS_TESTS	Fix causes other tests to fail
NEEDS_ADR	Fix requires architectural change
