TESTING AND RELIABILITY / GitHub community
Bug Receipt
Creates an evidence-bearing defect or incident handoff that distinguishes verified, partial and blocked outcomes.
“Close defects and incidents with a BUG RECEIPT and VERIFIED, PARTIAL, or BLOCKED status after diagnosis, repair, or recovery.”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Requires the observed baseline, root-cause evidence, changed artifacts and relevant checks to accompany a completion status.
- A bundled JSON contract and validator reject structurally inconsistent receipts, including a verified status with declared gaps.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- skills/bug-receipt/SKILL.md
- README.md (installation and supported-host sections)
- LICENSE
- skills/bug-receipt/assets/receipt.template.json
- skills/bug-receipt/references/receipt-contract.md
- skills/bug-receipt/references/receipt.schema.json
- skills/bug-receipt/scripts/validate-receipt.mjs
- Skill directory (all five files) and LICENSE compared with the previous review revision a19b3101: byte-identical at 156736fb (git blob SHAs). The README change between them is contributor credits only.
- vercel-labs/skills@13e4063a1cf913f5606d57d42ab83a86f5001e04:README.md
Our findings
- The complete definition, JSON schema, template and JavaScript validator/contract were inspected.
- The supplied template starts with partial/not-run observations; the procedure requires real evidence before stronger completion wording.
- The proof table distinguishes persistence round trips from race/lifecycle invariants and requests correlated request, edge, application, and identity-provider evidence when a blocker crosses those owners.
Not established by this review
- No upstream definition, helper, installer or generated workload was executed.
- No end-to-end agent session or effectiveness benchmark was run.
- Not executed: it was not installed or run.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
