bugbash
Systematically explore and test any software project (CLI, API, Backend, Library, etc.) to find bugs, usability issues, and edge cases. Produces a structured report with full reproduction evidence (exact commands, inputs, logs, and tracebacks) for every issue.
npx skills add av/facts --skill bugbash --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the bugbash skill do?
Systematically explore and test any software project (CLI, API, Backend, Library, etc.) to find bugs, usability issues, and edge cases. Produces a structured report with full reproduction evidence (exact commands, inputs, logs, and tracebacks) for every issue.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add av/facts --skill bugbash --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From av/facts, a repository with 199 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
