How to write bug reports that AI coding agents can actually fix

Short summary

A practical guide arguing that AI coding agents produce wrong fixes when given vague bug reports. It prescribes a disciplined sequence: capture exact errors and environment, write expected-vs-actual statements without assuming root cause, reduce to a minimal failing case, and verify reproduction before letting the agent diagnose. Includes a Bug Reproduction Brief template and links to free and paid workflow packs.

• •Vague bug reports let AI agents turn suspected causes into fictional facts—always reproduce first
• •Provide exact errors, environment, expected vs actual behavior, and a minimal failing fixture before asking an agent to fix
• •Includes a structured Bug Reproduction Brief template for clean agent handoffs
