“Close defects and incidents with a BUG RECEIPT and VERIFIED, PARTIAL, or BLOCKED status after diagnosis, repair, or recovery.”

 GitHub community · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below.

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.

### A good fit for

 - Handing a repaired defect to another developer or reviewer
- Making incident recovery evidence and unresolved verification gaps easy to inspect

### Weigh up before choosing

 - The validator checks supplied fields and status consistency; it cannot prove that a command actually ran or that a claimed observation is correct.
- A receipt may use executed, supplied or mixed evidence. Keep that distinction visible rather than presenting supplied reports as a fresh test run.
- Its prescribed response format needs adaptation where a team already has a required incident or change record.
- The JSON contract requires a changed file or artifact for verified status. A no-edit recovery cannot be represented as verified without adapting the contract transparently.

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

### 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.

### 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.

The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

03 / PUT IT TO WORK

## Add a skill to your workflow.

Upstream setup instructions ↗

DOCUMENTED COMMAND

 npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/a19b3101cc797a35de8b1c1698c13d1344703522/skills/bug-receipt --skill bug-receipt Copy command ↗

Copying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source.

 - Install the complete skill directory, including its references and helpers; select your intended host and project scope.
- Review the instructions before invoking them. The source revision is pinned; the installer was not executed or version-pinned by this review.

### Before you start

 - Node.js/npm and git for the documented Skills installer
- An agent host that supports the skill format and the tools required by the workflow
- Node.js if running the bundled JSON validator

### Compatibility

GitHub Copilot

### Repository instructions and host-provided tools

 - Read authorized defect reports, logs and test output
- Write a structured receipt and supporting artifact references
- Run the local receipt validator if the user chooses to execute the helper

### Cost model

MIT-licensed collection; agent usage and any project testing or incident tooling costs are separate.
