How to Use Bug Report Writer
- 1Describe what is broken: what you were trying to do, what happened instead, and any error messages you saw.
- 2Pick the target format — GitHub Issues, Jira Ticket or Linear Issue — so the structure matches where it is going.
- 3Set severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and the platform: 'macOS, Chrome 120'.
- 4Click 'Write Bug Report'.
- 5Fill in the bracketed environment fields — OS, browser or runtime, app version, device — and confirm the reproduction steps actually reproduce it before filing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a bug report good?
Reproduction steps someone else can follow, the expected behaviour stated separately from the actual behaviour, and the environment. Reports get closed as 'cannot reproduce' almost entirely because one of those three is missing, which is why the structure prompts for all of them.
Should I test the reproduction steps before filing?
Yes, always. The steps are reconstructed from your description, and a report whose steps do not reproduce the bug wastes a developer's afternoon and comes back to you anyway. Walk through them once.
Does the format setting matter?
It matches the conventions of each tracker — GitHub issue markdown, Jira's field structure, Linear's shape. It saves reformatting, though the content is broadly similar across the three.
How should I set severity?
By impact rather than by how annoying it is to you. Critical means data loss, a security issue or a broken primary flow with no workaround. Inflated severity is the fastest way to have your reports deprioritised in future.
What should I leave out?
Credentials, API keys, session tokens and real customer data. Error messages and stack traces routinely contain all four, so read anything you paste in before you file it publicly.
About Bug Report Writer
The Bug Report Writer turns a description of something broken into a structured report for GitHub, Jira or Linear: reproduction steps, expected versus actual behaviour, environment details and severity.
Nearly every bug closed as 'cannot reproduce' was missing one of three things — followable steps, a clear statement of what should have happened, or the environment it happened in. The structure exists to make all three mandatory, which is most of what separates a report that gets fixed from one that gets triaged away.
Test the generated reproduction steps before filing. They are reconstructed from your description, and steps that do not actually reproduce the bug cost a developer real time and land back in your queue regardless. Walking through them once is the highest-value minute in the process.
Set severity by impact, not by irritation — inflated severity is how a reporter's future tickets get deprioritised. And read what you paste: error messages and stack traces routinely carry tokens, keys and customer data into public issue trackers. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
