Debug Bug Report
You are debugging a bug/error report from the application. Analyze the provided report systematically to find the root cause.
Getting Report Data
Option 1: List New Reports
If the user hasn't provided a specific report ID, list new reports from the database:
node scripts/list-reports.mjs
This shows all new reports with their IDs. You can filter by status or type:
# List reports by status (new, investigating, resolved, closed) node scripts/list-reports.mjs --status investigating # List reports by type (bug, error) node scripts/list-reports.mjs --type error # Combine filters and set limit node scripts/list-reports.mjs --status new --type bug --limit 20
The output includes:
- •Report ID (use this to fetch full details)
- •Type, status, and creation date
- •Route where the issue occurred
- •Brief message/description
Option 2: Fetch Specific Report
If the user provides a report ID (24-character hex string like 692f08157586bdebbe6f3042), fetch the full report details:
node scripts/get-report.mjs <report-id>
This script connects directly to MongoDB and outputs the complete report details.
Typical Workflow
- •List reports - Run
node scripts/list-reports.mjsto see available reports - •Select a report - Pick a report ID from the list
- •Fetch full details - Run
node scripts/get-report.mjs <report-id> - •Analyze - Follow the analysis steps below
- •Debug - Investigate the issue and propose a fix
Input
The user will provide either:
- •Nothing → List new reports and ask user which one to debug
- •A report ID → Fetch full details using
get-report.mjs - •A full report → Analyze directly (user copied the report data)
Report format includes:
- •Report metadata (type, status, timestamps)
- •Context (route, network status)
- •Description or error message
- •Stack trace (for errors)
- •User and browser information
- •Performance entries (for performance bugs)
- •Session logs with timestamps and performance timing
- •Screenshot (optional) - Public URL to Vercel Blob storage
Analysis Steps
1. Identify the Issue Type
- •Error: Look at the error message and stack trace
- •Bug: Read the user's description carefully
- •Performance: Analyze performance entries and timing data
2. Analyze Session Logs
Session logs show the sequence of events leading to the issue:
[timestamp] [+Xms] [LEVEL] [feature] Message | Meta: {...} | Route: /path | Network: online/offline
- •Timeline: Use
[+Xms]to understand timing between events - •API calls: Look for
[api]logs showing requests/responses - •Errors: Look for
[ERROR]level logs - •Network: Check for network status changes (
[network]logs) - •User actions: Component logs show what the user was doing
3. For Errors - Analyze Stack Trace
- •Find the originating file and line number
- •Search the codebase for that file
- •Read the relevant code section
- •Identify what could cause the error
4. For Performance Issues
Analyze performance entries:
- •Navigation timing: How long did the page take to load?
- •Resource timing: Which resources are slow?
- •API timing: Which API calls are slow?
- •First Paint / FCP: When did content first appear?
Look for:
- •Resources with high duration (>500ms)
- •API calls with high latency
- •Large transfer sizes
- •Waterfall blocking issues
5. Analyze Screenshot (if available)
If the report includes a screenshot URL (public Vercel Blob URL):
- •
Navigate to the screenshot using the browser tools:
typescriptmcp_cursor-ide-browser_browser_navigate({ url: "screenshot-url" }) mcp_cursor-ide-browser_browser_take_screenshot() - •
Visual analysis - Look for:
- •UI state that might indicate the issue (error messages, loading states, broken layouts)
- •What page/route the user was on
- •What actions they might have been taking
- •Any visible errors or unexpected UI states
- •Network/console errors visible in dev tools (if captured)
- •Form states or data that might be relevant
- •
Correlate with description: Match what you see in the screenshot with the user's description
6. Correlate All Data
- •Match session log timestamps with performance entries
- •Check if network status changes correlate with issues
- •Cross-reference screenshot with the reported route and timing
- •Identify the exact moment things went wrong
Debugging Actions
After analysis, take these actions:
- •
View the screenshot (if provided):
- •Navigate to the screenshot URL using browser tools
- •Take a screenshot to see the visual context
- •Note any visible UI issues or states
- •
Search the codebase for relevant files mentioned in:
- •Stack traces
- •Session log features
- •Routes
- •Components visible in screenshot
- •
Read the source code at the identified locations
- •
Identify the root cause by understanding:
- •What the code is trying to do
- •What state/data it expects
- •What could cause it to fail
- •What the screenshot reveals about the actual state
- •
Propose a fix with specific code changes
