Turn a Bugsnag error into one well documented GitHub issue
For developers who want an error filed in GitHub with its impact and recent occurrences, without duplicates, by asking their AI assistant.

The problem
Two GitHub issues for one Bugsnag error
Filing a GitHub issue for a Bugsnag error means copying severity, users affected, stages and recent occurrences, then linking it back. Skip the search first and you end up with two issues for one error.
Without PopdockAI
- Copy error details from Bugsnag
- Paste recent occurrences into the issue
- Forget to search for an existing issue
- Link the issue back in Bugsnag by hand
With PopdockAI
- The error and its five latest occurrences are read
- GitHub is searched by error id and error class
- You see the exact title, label and body first
- One issue is created and linked back in Bugsnag
The prompt

**Objective:** Open a GitHub issue for Bugsnag error `{error-id}`, labelled `{label}` (default: bug), and link it back to the error in Bugsnag.
**Step 1: Read the error in Bugsnag**
Call `bugsnag-get-error` with `error-id` set to `{error-id}`. If it returns nothing, say so and stop. Record error-class, message, severity, status, events, users, first-seen-date, last-seen-date, release-stages, context, project-name and error-url.
Call `bugsnag-get-event` with `error-id` set to `{error-id}` and `max-records` 5 to get the most recent occurrences: file, app-version, request-url, unhandled and received-at-date.
Call `bugsnag-get-project` with `name` set to the project-name to get the project-id, which the link step needs.
**Step 2: Check for an existing issue on GitHub**
Call `github-get-issue` with `title.contains` set to `{error-id}`. If an issue comes back, do not create another one: report it and go straight to Step 5 using its issue-url. Also call `github-get-issue` with `title.contains` set to the error-class, and if an open issue comes back, show it and ask whether it already covers this error before continuing.
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show the user the issue you will create:
* Title: `[Bugsnag {error-id}] <error-class>: <message, trimmed to 80 characters>`
* Label: `{label}` (default bug)
* Body: severity, status, events and users affected, first and last seen, release stages, the recent occurrences as a short list (app-version, file, request-url, unhandled), and the error-url.
Wait for an explicit yes before continuing.
**Step 4: Create the issue on GitHub**
Call `github-add-issue` once, with `title`, `body` and `label` as confirmed. It returns no fields, so call `github-get-issue` with `title.contains` set to `{error-id}` to read back the issue-number and issue-url.
**Step 5: Link it in Bugsnag**
Call `bugsnag-link-error-issue` once, with `error-id` set to `{error-id}`, `project-id` from Step 1 and `issue-url` from Step 4.
**Step 6: Report**
The issue number and URL, and whether the link in Bugsnag succeeded.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `bugsnag-get-error`, `bugsnag-get-event`, `bugsnag-get-project` and `bugsnag-link-error-issue` are on the bugsnag server. `github-get-issue` and `github-add-issue` are on the github server.
* The only write tools this prompt may call are `github-add-issue` (once, after confirmation) and `bugsnag-link-error-issue` (once). Do not call `bugsnag-create-error-issue`: it files through Bugsnag's own tracker integration and would create a second issue. Do not call `bugsnag-assign-error`, `bugsnag-fix-error` or `github-update-issue`.
* Keep the `[Bugsnag <error-id>]` prefix in the title. The other prompts on this server find issues by it.
**Validation:**
* If the issue was created but cannot be read back, report that it was created, do not create it again, and skip the link step.
* If the link step fails, report the issue URL so the user can link it by hand. Do not retry the issue creation.
* If the error is already fixed or discarded in Bugsnag, say so and ask before filing.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Developers
File errors with the evidence attached
Severity, users affected and recent occurrences are in the issue body.
File a GitHub issue for the NullReferenceException in OrderService from Bugsnag.
SRE engineers
Track production errors in the backlog
Each error gets one linked issue, so work is tracked from both sides.
Open a GitHub issue labelled production for the timeout error in PaymentGateway in Bugsnag.
Tech leads
Avoid duplicate issues
Existing issues for the same error id or class are found before anything is created.
Is there already a GitHub issue for the ReferenceError in Checkout from Bugsnag? If not, file one.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give the error and optionally a label, and your AI assistant drafts the issue from real details. It asks whether an existing issue already covers it, and never creates twice.
01
Ask
You give the Bugsnag error and optionally a label.
02
Read
It reads the error and its five latest occurrences.
03
Check
It searches GitHub by error id and error class for an existing issue.
04
Confirm
You see the title, label and body, then it creates one issue and links it in Bugsnag.
