Filed a synthetic 'sbioloadproject silently drops diagram layout' bug through both paths: the freeform baseline report skipped severity, reproducibility, and any registered-skills inventory, while the skill's template forced all of it plus a hard no-root-cause guardrail that kept speculation out of the report body.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Filing Bug Reports does

Filing Bug Reports has Claude reconstruct a bug from the conversation it just witnessed, reproduce and minimize it, then write a numbered issues/BUG-NNN-slug.md file using a fixed template covering summary, expected/actual behavior, exact repro steps, environment, verbatim error output, and impact. It triggers on 'file a bug', 'write a bug report', or 'document a defect for handoff', and explicitly defers to direct debugging or code-review requests instead.

How to install Filing Bug Reports

git clone https://github.com/matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit
cd simulink-agentic-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills-catalog/model-based-design-core/filing-bug-reports ~/.claude/skills/filing-bug-reports

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Filing Bug Reports

  • /filing-bug-reports Turns a witnessed failure into a standalone, template-driven bug report with no root cause guessed.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Write up a bug report for the failure we just reproduced
  • Document this defect in a proper bug report file for the team
  • File a numbered bug report with exact repro steps and error output
