💡 Use Case

Useful for product teams and engineers who need better bug handoffs before starting actual debugging work.

📋 The Prompt

Act as a senior software debugger. My raw bug report is messy, incomplete, or written by non-engineers. Convert it into a high-signal reproduction packet.

Inputs:
- Raw bug notes, screenshots, or chat transcript: [paste]
- Product area: [web/mobile/backend/infra]
- Expected behavior: [details]
- Actual behavior: [details]
- Environment details: [browser/device/version/branch]
- Severity guess: [low/medium/high/unknown]
- Logs or errors: [paste if available]

Output:
1. A cleaned-up bug summary in one paragraph
2. Exact reproduction steps with numbered sequence
3. Likely root-cause hypotheses ranked by probability
4. Missing data to collect before assigning the bug
5. Suggested test cases to confirm the fix
6. A concise handoff note for an engineer or coding agent

Requirements:
- Be explicit about uncertainty
- Do not invent environment details
- Prefer structured output over narrative fluff
