Bug Sweeps
Software Factory doesn't just wait for bugs to be reported — the bug-finder skill actively looks for them.
Overview
The bug-finder skill proactively sweeps a connected repository to find bugs nobody has reported yet. When it finds one, it files a new issue with reproduction evidence attached, and that issue flows into the same triage → spec → implement → review pipeline as any human-filed issue.
Sweeping vs. deep-diving
The bug-finder skill operates in two ways:
- Proactive sweep — scans the connected repo for previously-unreported bugs and files a new issue for each one it finds, with reproduction evidence attached.
- Deep-dive — given an already-reported bug issue, investigates it in depth to confirm and characterize it before it moves into triage.
Either way, the result is the same: an issue backed by evidence, ready for the pipeline.
Running unattended
In Auto mode, a bug the sweep finds can flow all the way from discovery to an open pull request without anyone touching the keyboard — this is the "point it at your repos, it finds and fixes bugs while you sleep" workflow. In Supervised mode, you'll see each newly-filed issue on the Kanban board and approve it into triage yourself.
