  • Propose a fix approach to the user
  • Implement fixes following ZAO OS conventions
  • Write tests and verify Zod schemas

How it works

The skill reads a GitHub issue, plans a fix, implements it following conventions, runs tests, and creates a commit message referencing the issue number.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
GitHub issue number
You get back
Implemented fix, verified tests, and a git commit referencing the issue

When to use fix-issue

  • Fixing reported bugs
  • Implementing small feature requests
  • Patching regressions

About this skill

Fix Issue — GitHub Issue to Commit

End-to-end workflow for fixing a GitHub issue.

Usage

/fix-issue 42

Workflow

1. Read the Issue

Issue details: !`gh issue view $ARGUMENTS`
Issue comments: !`gh issue view $ARGUMENTS --comments`

2. Understand & Plan

  • Read all referenced files
  • Identify root cause
  • Propose fix approach to the user before implementing

3. Implement

  • Follow ZAO OS conventions (Zod validation, session checks, Tailwind dark theme, mobile-first)
  • Make minimal changes — fix the issue, don't refactor surrounding code

4. Test

  • Run npm run lint and npm run build to verify no regressions
  • If test files exist nearby, run them with npx vitest run [file]
  • If the fix touches an API route, verify the Zod schema covers the change

5. Commit

  • Stage only the files you changed
  • Commit message format: fix(feature): description (closes #$ARGUMENTS)

Rules

  • Always read the full issue + comments before starting
  • Always propose the fix approach before implementing
  • Never push — let the user decide when to push
  • Reference the issue number in the commit message

When not to use it

  • When the user wants to push changes directly without review
  • When refactoring surrounding code beyond the immediate fix
  • When the issue is not a GitHub issue

Limitations

  • Requires reading the full issue and comments before starting
  • Always proposes the fix approach before implementing
  • Never pushes changes; the user decides when to push

How it compares

This skill provides a structured, end-to-end workflow for fixing GitHub issues, including planning, implementation, testing, and committing with specific conventions, unlike a generic code modification process.
