| Investigate diagnostic issues and propose fixes with human approval |
Debug Review
Investigate diagnostic issues created by /debug-report, read relevant code, and propose fixes with human approval at each step.
CRITICAL: This Command Requires Human Approval
This command has THREE mandatory approval gates. You MUST stop and wait for user confirmation at each gate before proceeding.
Execution Steps
Step 1: Detect Repository
Run Bash to get the current repository:
git remote get-url origin
Parse to extract REPO_NAME in owner/repo format.
Step 2: Fetch Diagnostic Issues
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__list_issues(
repo=REPO_NAME,
state="open",
labels=["Source: Diagnostic"]
)
If no issues with that label, try without label filter and look for issues with "[Diagnostic]" in title.
Step 3: Display Issue List
Show the user available issues:
Debug Review
============
Open Diagnostic Issues:
#80 - [Diagnostic] get_labels fails without repo parameter
Created: 2026-01-21 | Labels: Type: Bug, Source: Diagnostic
#77 - [Diagnostic] MCP tools require explicit repo parameter
Created: 2026-01-21 | Labels: Type: Bug, Source: Diagnostic
No diagnostic issues? Showing recent bugs:
#75 - [Bug] Some other issue
Created: 2026-01-20
Step 4: User Selects Issue
Use AskUserQuestion:
Which issue would you like to investigate?
Options: [List issue numbers]
Wait for user selection.
Step 5: Fetch Full Issue Details
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__get_issue(repo=REPO_NAME, issue_number=SELECTED)
Step 6: Parse Diagnostic Report
Extract from the issue body:
- Failed Tools: Which MCP tools failed
- Error Messages: Exact error text
- Hypothesis: Reporter's analysis
- Suggested Investigation: Files to check
- Project Context: Repo, branch, cwd where error occurred
If the issue doesn't follow the diagnostic template, extract what information is available.
Step 7: Map Errors to Code Files
Use this mapping to identify relevant files:
By Tool Name:
| Tool | Primary Files |
|---|---|
validate_repo_org |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/gitea_client.py |
get_labels |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/labels.py |
suggest_labels |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/labels.py |
list_issues |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/issues.py |
create_issue |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/tools/issues.py |
list_milestones |
mcp-servers/gitea/mcp_server/gitea_client.py |
By Error Pattern:
| Error Contains | Check Files |
|---|---|
| "owner/repo format" | config.py, gitea_client.py |
| "404" + "orgs" | gitea_client.py (is_org_repo method) |
| "401", "403" | config.py (token loading) |
| "No repository" | Command .md file (repo detection step) |
By Command:
| Command | Documentation File |
|---|---|
/labels-sync |
plugins/projman/commands/labels-sync.md |
/sprint-plan |
plugins/projman/commands/sprint-plan.md |
/sprint-start |
plugins/projman/commands/sprint-start.md |
/debug-report |
plugins/projman/commands/debug-report.md |
Step 8: Read Relevant Files (MANDATORY)
You MUST read the identified files before proposing any fix.
For each relevant file:
- Read the file using the Read tool
- Find the specific function/method mentioned in the error
- Understand the code path that leads to the error
- Note any related code that might be affected
Display snippets of relevant code to the user:
Reading relevant files...

Step 9: Present Investigation Summary
Summarize what you found:
Investigation Summary
=====================
ISSUE: #80 - get_labels fails without repo parameter
FAILED TOOLS:
• get_labels - "Use 'owner/repo' format"
CODE ANALYSIS:
1. labels.py:get_labels() requires repo parameter
- Line 30: `target_repo = repo or self.gitea.repo`
- Line 31-32: Raises ValueError if no repo
2. labels-sync.md documents Step 1 for repo detection
- Lines 13-26: Instructs to run `git remote get-url origin`
- This step may not be followed by executing Claude
ROOT CAUSE HYPOTHESIS:
The command documentation (labels-sync.md) correctly instructs
repo detection, but the executing Claude may be skipping Step 1
and calling MCP tools directly.
Evidence:
• Error indicates repo parameter was not passed
• labels-sync.md has correct instructions
• MCP server cannot auto-detect (sandboxed environment)
LIKELY FIX:
Option A: Make Step 1 more prominent in labels-sync.md
Option B: Add validation that repo was detected before proceeding
Option C: [Other based on analysis]
APPROVAL GATE 1
Does this analysis match your understanding of the problem?
[Y] Yes, proceed to propose fix
[N] No, let me clarify
[R] Read more files first
STOP HERE AND WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE
Do NOT proceed until user approves.
Step 9.5: Search Lessons Learned
Before proposing a fix, search for relevant lessons from past fixes.
1. Extract search tags from the issue:
SEARCH_TAGS = []
# Add tool names
for each failed_tool in issue:
SEARCH_TAGS.append(tool_name) # e.g., "get_labels", "validate_repo_org"
# Add error category
SEARCH_TAGS.append(error_category) # e.g., "parameter-format", "authentication"
# Add component if identifiable
if error relates to MCP server:
SEARCH_TAGS.append("mcp")
if error relates to command:
SEARCH_TAGS.append("command")
2. Search lessons learned:
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__search_lessons(
repo=REPO_NAME,
tags=SEARCH_TAGS,
limit=5
)
3. Also search by error keywords:
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__search_lessons(
repo=REPO_NAME,
query=[key error message words],
limit=5
)
4. Display relevant lessons (if any):
Related Lessons Learned
=======================
Found [N] relevant lessons from past fixes:
📚 Lesson: "Sprint 14 - Parameter validation in MCP tools"
Tags: mcp, get_labels, parameter-format
Summary: Always validate repo parameter format before API calls
Prevention: Add format check at function entry
📚 Lesson: "Sprint 12 - Graceful fallback for missing config"
Tags: configuration, fallback
Summary: Commands should work even without .env
Prevention: Check for env vars, use sensible defaults
These lessons may inform your fix approach.
If no lessons found, display:
No related lessons found. This may be a new type of issue.
Step 10: Propose Fix Approach
Based on the analysis, propose a specific fix:

)
Step 14: Report Completion
Debug Review Complete
=====================
Issue: #80 - get_labels fails without repo parameter
Status: Fix Proposed
PR Created: #81 - fix: improve labels-sync repo detection instructions
URL: http://gitea.hotserv.cloud/.../pulls/81
Next Steps:
1. Review and merge PR #81
2. In test project, pull latest plugin version
3. Run /debug-report to verify fix
4. Come back and run Step 15 to close issue and capture lesson
Step 15: Verify, Close, and Capture Lesson
This step runs AFTER the user has verified the fix works.
When user returns and confirms the fix is working:
1. Close the issue:
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__update_issue(
repo=REPO_NAME,
issue_number=ISSUE_NUMBER,
state="closed"
)
2. Ask about lesson capture:
Use AskUserQuestion:
This fix addressed [ERROR_TYPE] in [COMPONENT].
Would you like to capture this as a lesson learned?
Options:
- Yes, capture lesson (helps avoid similar issues in future)
- No, skip (trivial fix or already documented)
3. If user chooses Yes, auto-generate lesson content:
LESSON_TITLE = "Sprint [N] - [Brief description of fix]"
# Example: "Sprint 17 - MCP parameter validation"
LESSON_CONTENT = """
## Context
[What was happening when the issue occurred]
- Command/tool being used: [FAILED_TOOL]
- Error encountered: [ERROR_MESSAGE]
## Problem
[Root cause identified during investigation]
## Solution
[What was changed to fix it]
- Files modified: [LIST]
- PR: #[PR_NUMBER]
## Prevention
[How to avoid this in the future]
## Related
- Issue: #[ISSUE_NUMBER]
- PR: #[PR_NUMBER]
"""
LESSON_TAGS = [
tool_name, # e.g., "get_labels"
error_category, # e.g., "parameter-format"
component, # e.g., "mcp", "command"
"bug-fix"
]
4. Show lesson preview and ask for approval:
Lesson Preview
==============
Title: [LESSON_TITLE]
Tags: [LESSON_TAGS]
Content:
[LESSON_CONTENT]
Save this lesson? (Y/N/Edit)
5. If approved, create the lesson:
mcp__plugin_projman_gitea__create_lesson(
repo=REPO_NAME,
title=LESSON_TITLE,
content=LESSON_CONTENT,
tags=LESSON_TAGS,
category="sprints"
)
6. Report completion:
Issue Closed & Lesson Captured
==============================
Issue #[N]: CLOSED
Lesson: "[LESSON_TITLE]" saved to wiki
This lesson will be surfaced in future /debug-review
sessions when similar errors are encountered.
DO NOT
- DO NOT skip reading relevant files - this is MANDATORY
- DO NOT proceed past approval gates without user confirmation
- DO NOT guess at fixes without evidence from code
- DO NOT close issues until user confirms fix works (Step 15)
- DO NOT commit directly to development or main branches
- DO NOT skip the lessons learned search - past fixes inform better solutions
If Investigation Finds No Bug
Sometimes investigation reveals the issue is:
- User error (didn't follow documented steps)
- Configuration issue (missing .env vars)
- Already fixed in a newer version
In this case:
Investigation Summary
=====================
FINDING: This does not appear to be a code bug.
ANALYSIS:
[Explanation of what you found]
RECOMMENDATION:
[ ] Close issue as "not a bug" - user error
[ ] Close issue as "duplicate" of #[X]
[ ] Add documentation to prevent confusion
[ ] Other: [specify]
Would you like me to add a comment explaining this finding?
