The skill existed and was functional (built 2026-07-17/18) but was not wired into CLAUDE.md, SKILL_ROUTING.md, or CLAUDE_EXTENDED.md -- meaning sessions had no standing instruction to use it for bug filing or to check it when starting work on tracked items. + +Added bug-tracker to three integration points: the skill-first routing list in CLAUDE.md (so it's recognized as the canonical tool for bug/feature/project tracking), a new "errorlog to tracker bridge" rule in CLAUDE.md (so genuine functional bugs logged to errorlog.md also get filed as Gitea issues for resolution tracking), and a bug-filing confirmation gate in the Definition of Done standing gates. Added a doing-skills table entry and a "Bug tracking (auto-file on discovery)" subsection to SKILL_ROUTING.md with filing criteria and the fix-update-close workflow. Added the skill to the CLAUDE_EXTENDED.md commands table. + +Ran the changes through the /simplify code review skill (three parallel agents: reuse, quality, efficiency). The quality agent caught two issues: a slash notation inconsistency (`/bug-tracker` in EXTENDED vs `bug-tracker` elsewhere -- fixed to no-slash since it's a skill not a slash command) and a missing bug-filing confirmation gate in the Definition of Done rule (added). + +Ran a full end-to-end lifecycle test of the tracker: status, list, create (test issue #87), show, comment, label add, label remove, priority change, assign, close with comment, reopen, re-close with comment. All 12 operations passed. The comment trail was verified intact on the final show. + +After committing the integration changes, failed to close the matching tracker issue (#13 "bug-tracker skill: new, needs integration into session workflows") -- Howard caught this. This exposed a process gap: the rules only covered the output side (close with comment when fixing) but not the input side (check the tracker for a matching issue before starting work). Added the input-side check to both CLAUDE.md and SKILL_ROUTING.md and logged the correction to errorlog.md. + +## Key Decisions + +- **No-slash notation for bug-tracker** -- the existing pattern in CLAUDE.md uses slashes for slash-commands (`/rmm`, `/syncro`) and no slash for skills invoked by name (`vault`, `remediation-tool`). Bug-tracker is a skill, so `bug-tracker` without slash is correct. +- **Bridge rule placement in CLAUDE.md** -- placed between "Log user corrections" and "Log preventable friction" rules, creating a logical flow: error logging -> corrections -> bug escalation -> friction. +- **Input-side tracker check added after real failure** -- rather than theorizing about process gaps, the missed #13 close proved the gap existed and defined exactly what was missing. + +## Problems Encountered + +- **Missed tracker issue #13 close** -- after committing the fix for "bug-tracker skill: new, needs integration into session workflows," did not close the matching Gitea issue. Root cause: rules only covered closing issues, not looking them up before starting work. Fixed by adding "check the tracker when starting work" to both CLAUDE.md and SKILL_ROUTING.md.
