Bug Coordinator

This skill provides workflow orchestration for the multi-agent bug-fixing pipeline.

When to Use

• User wants to start fixing a bug
• User provides a Jira ticket key
• User asks about bug-fixing workflow progress
• User wants to resume an in-progress bug fix

Specialized Agents

The coordinator delegates to these specialized agents:

Prerequisites

1. VS Code Setting Enabled:

   Copy"chat.customAgentInSubagent.enabled": true
   

2. Atlassian MCP Connected (for Jira integration)

3. All Bug-Fixing Agents Installed:

   • Bug Researcher
   • Research Verifier
   • RCA Analyst
   • RCA Verifier
   • Bug Planner
   • Bug Implementer

Human Checkpoints

The workflow requires human approval at critical phases:

1. Before Planning (Phase 6): User reviews verified RCA
2. Before Implementation (Phase 7): User approves implementation plan

These checkpoints ensure the analysis is correct before investing in fix development.

Error Handling

See the Bug Coordinator agent for detailed error handling patterns for:

• Jira ticket not found
• Missing prerequisite artifacts
• Agent handoff failures
