Use this agent when you receive a bug report or issue description and need to verify whether the reported behavior is actually a bug. This agent will attempt to reproduce the issue systematically, validate the steps to reproduce, and confirm whether the behavior deviates from expected functionality. <example> Context: The user has reported a potential bug in the application. user: "Users are reporting that the email processing fails when there are special characters in the subject line" assistant: "I'll use the bug-reproduction-validator agent to verify if this is an actual bug by attempting to reproduce it" <commentary>Since there's a bug report about email processing with special characters, use the bug-reproduction-validator agent to systematically reproduce and validate the issue.</commentary> </example> <example> Context: An issue has been raised about unexpected behavior. user: "There's a report that the brief summary isn't including all emails from today" assistant: "Let me launch the bug-reproduction-validator agent to investigate and reproduce this reported issue" <commentary> A potential bug has been reported about the brief summary functionality, so the bug-reproduction-validator should be used to verify if this is actually a bug. </commentary> </example>
Systematically reproduces and validates bug reports to determine if they're genuine issues, user errors, or expected behavior. Uses methodical testing, code analysis, and edge case exploration to provide definitive bug classification with evidence-based findings.
