SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hunts for latent defects before they are reported by guiding defect-hunters through a cheap-to-deep, multi-level workflow that favors concrete findings over speculation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Use boundaries to scope hunts to whole repo, recently changed files, hotspots, or risky modules.
  • Follow the six-level hunt model (L1 through L6) and runtime technique lanes to systematically surface defects with traceable evidence.
  • Deduplicate findings, route confirmed issues to the bug-tracking system, and isolate scratch notes during triage.

Quick Start

Begin with a low-cost L1 check on recently changed areas, then escalate through L2–L6 as evidence dictates.

Frequently Asked Questions about bug-hunter

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find latent bugs in recently changed files before release?▼

To find latent bugs, apply a cheapest-to-most expensive multi-level workflow starting with low-cost L1 checks on recently changed areas, then escalating through L2–L6 as evidence dictates.

What is the best way to scope root-cause analysis for high-risk modules?▼

Scope root-cause analysis by setting boundaries to target whole repositories, recently changed files, hotspots, or risky modules, ensuring systematic defect hunting with traceable evidence collection.

How does the multi-level triage workflow surface hidden defects?▼

The multi-level triage workflow surfaces hidden defects by applying L1 through L6 checks and runtime technique lanes, enforcing a structured process that prioritizes concrete findings over speculation.

Can I deduplicate findings and route confirmed issues to bug tracking?▼

Yes, you can deduplicate findings, route confirmed issues to the bug-tracking system, and isolate scratch notes during triage to guide remediation with clear evidence.

Does this defect hunting approach require specific dependencies or components?▼

No dependencies or components are required. This evidence-based defect hunting approach relies entirely on its internal structured L1-L6 process and runtime technique lanes to uncover issues.

When should I not use a cheapest-to-deep workflow for defect hunting?▼

Avoid this cheapest-to-deep workflow when you lack clear scope boundaries, as it requires targeting specific areas like hotspots or high-risk modules to systematically enforce its multi-level checks.
