The Bug Slime blocks the way.
What really happensIt stands for a defect in your code.
Hunter: Context 100/100.

One command is forged that can go red on this bug.
What really happensPhase 1 builds a tight loop, such as a test, curl, CLI, or browser script, runs it once, and writes <REDACTED> over secrets.
Bug Slime takes 19.
The Bug Slime uses Regress.
Hunter takes 8. Hunter: Context 84/100.
The loop shrinks until every leftover piece still fails.
What really happensIt reproduces your symptom, then cuts inputs and steps one at a time until each remaining piece is load-bearing.
Bug Slime takes 12.
Ranked guesses are probed one change at a time.
What really happensIt writes 3 to 5 falsifiable hypotheses, shows you the list, then uses a debugger or logs tagged [DEBUG-...].
Bug Slime takes 30.
The Bug Slime stays down, and the red command is a ward.
What really happensWhen a real seam exists, a failing test locks the bug before the fix. The original loop is re-run, and debug logs come out.
Bug Slime takes 24. Bug Slime falls.
The Bug Slime falls.

Claude Code
claude plugin install mattpocock-skills@claude-plugins-officialCodex
codex plugin marketplace add mattpocock/skills
codex plugin add mattpocock-skills@mattpocockNotes
Plugin commands install the whole mattpocock-skills set. Installing that plugin and a skills.sh copy in the same agent duplicates every skill. Without a command that goes red on this bug, it stops and asks for a repro, a redacted artifact, or permission to instrument. Replace secrets with <REDACTED> before showing commands or outputs.
