A responsible-disclosure report-writing skill layering Bugcrowd-specific tactics (VRT category selection, manual severity override, severity-request paragraph, OOS-clause rebuttals) on top of a generic report-writing skill; tested on a fabricated benign reflected-XSS-to-ATO finding with no real program targeted. Verbatim install is clean (single-file SKILL.md, strict-YAML frontmatter, no broken refs) and the frontmatter triggers precisely on Bugcrowd-filing scenarios. In the A/B, the skill arm was clearly better: it opened with the exact literal 'Severity request — please review carefully before applying VRT default' header that pre-empts triager auto-close and followed the skill's severity-request template structure verbatim, while the base arm produced a solid but generic severity argument that missed that recognized-phrase convention.

  • Triggers reliably 4/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10

What Bugcrowd Reporting does

Bugcrowd-specific reporting tactics complementing report-writing: VRT category search-and-fallback strategy when no exact match exists, manual severity override when VRT defaults underrate impact, severity-request paragraph as first body section, OOS-clause rebuttal templates (rate limiting on auth-flow endpoints, debug-info framing, user-enumeration with sensitive PII, theoretical-issue…
