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.

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.

- Is the Filing Bug Reports skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Filing Bug Reports work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. 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.
- What is the Filing Bug Reports SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Filing Bug Reports?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Filing Bug Reports with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
