/install bugfix-without-test
Description
A fix is applied without a reproduction test, leaving no proof the bug is fixed and no regression coverage.
README (SKILL.md)
bugfix-without-test
Fixing a bug without a test means (a) you don't know the fix actually works, and (b) there's nothing to stop the bug from coming back next refactor. A fix without a regression test is provisional at best.
Symptoms
- Diff contains code changes but no test changes.
- Existing tests still pass, but none of them would have failed under the original bug.
- PR description describes a bug scenario that no test exercises.
- The fix is a one-liner and no one will remember why it exists six months later.
What to do
- Reproduce the bug as a failing test first. Run it. Confirm it fails for the right reason.
- Apply the fix. Run the test again. Confirm it passes.
- Keep the test in the suite. It becomes the regression guard.
- If the bug is hard to test (timing, environment, flaky), say so explicitly and describe what manual verification was done. Don't silently skip.
- For bugs discovered in production, add the test at the lowest level that reproduces the issue — unit if possible, integration if not.
Usage Guidance
This skill is simply best-practice guidance for adding tests when fixing bugs and appears safe to install. It's instruction-only (no code or downloads) and requests no credentials. Consider whether you want an agent to act on these instructions autonomously: if your agent has repository write or CI access, it could create/modify tests and code—so retain normal review and access controls. Otherwise, there are no disproportionate permissions or hidden behaviors to worry about.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: bugfix-without-test
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle consists of documentation (SKILL.md) outlining software engineering best practices for bug fixing and regression testing. It contains no executable code, network requests, or instructions that would lead to malicious behavior or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (encouraging adding regression tests) matches the SKILL.md content. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or installs requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains procedural guidance (reproduce bug as failing test, apply fix, keep test). It does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary files, call external endpoints, access credentials, or run specific system commands.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; nothing is written to disk or downloaded.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested—requirements are minimal and appropriate for a documentation/guidance skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges over other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install bugfix-without-test - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/bugfix-without-test - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of the skill.
- Documents risks and symptoms of applying a bug fix without an accompanying test.
- Offers best practices for ensuring bug fixes are verified and protected against regression.
- Emphasizes the importance of regression tests and outlines steps for properly fixing and testing bugs.
