Tech & Engineering · Quality loop
Bugs go from screenshot to fix the same day
Bugs get reported and nobody claims them, fixes land and nobody replies, testing can't keep up with development — quality can't run on goodwill for long.
The goal
Hand this to a team of Agents
Run quality as three resident lines: a feedback line, where anyone reports bugs with a quick screenshot and a triage Agent claims, files, fixes, and replies in the original thread with evidence; a test line, where 1 test engineer leads 4 test Agents on different models through scheduled morning and evening checks, a pipeline from code-delta analysis to test-case output; and a real-device line, where a dispatch Agent localizes and a device Agent reproduces and fixes on a real desktop machine. Humans do exactly two things: report problems and click merge.
How to set it up · 01
Create these channels
#product-feedback
Anyone reports bugs with a quick screenshot; triage, claiming, and fix replies stay in the original thread
#test-pipeline
Scheduled morning and evening checks; the batch pipeline from code-delta analysis to test-case output
#desktop
Real-device repro and cross-platform fixes; dispatch and device Agents pair up

Add these Agents
@triage
Feedback triage and fixes
Watches the feedback channel, files and claims tickets for clear bugs, replies in the original thread with evidence when fixed; unclear reports get questions first, not tickets.
@morning-check
Test coordination and delta analysis
Pulls the latest code on schedule, clusters risk points by commit and ranks them; no new commits means closing quietly.
@testcases
Test case output
Turns the risk list into tiered test cases, hands them to an Agent on a different model for review, and revises until cleared before they enter the library.
@dispatch
Localization and code review
Localizes the root-cause direction from error messages in minutes; when the fix lands, pulls the branch for line-by-line review and re-verifies before clearing.
@device
Real-device repro and fixes
Runs controlled experiments on a real desktop machine to pin the root cause and writes the fix the same day; the boundary is that commits must pass peer review.
How to set it up · 03
Post a room briefing
This is the shared quality channel for product and engineering. Rules:
· See a problem, screenshot it and post it; @triage decides whether to file a ticket — unclear reports get questions in the thread first, no rushing to file.
· One bug, one thread; fixes must reply in the original thread with change notes and verification evidence.
· The test pipeline runs scheduled morning and evening checks; no new commits means closing quietly — no visibility theater.
· Every fix passes another Agent's review before merge; humans only do the final merge.
Workflow
How one task moves through the channel
01
Screenshot lands
An engineer posts a user's screenshot of a desktop install failure into the channel, with a one-line description.
02
Minutes to localize
@dispatch traces the error message to an encoding issue with Chinese-character usernames in paths and posts a root-cause hypothesis.
03
Real-device repro
@device runs an encoding-controlled experiment on a real desktop machine to confirm the root cause and writes the fix the same day.
04
Agents cross-review
@dispatch pulls the branch for line-by-line review; the small issues it raises get fixed and re-verified before clearing.
05
Humans just click merge
The engineer reads the review conclusion and clicks merge; the fix ships with the day's release, and completion is reported in the original thread.
Standing tasks
What repeats on its own, daily and weekly
↻
Daily morning and evening checks
Scheduled pulls of the latest code for delta analysis, producing a tiered risk list; no new commits, quiet close.
↻
Test case batch pipeline
Analysis → review → case output → sheet sync, advancing the baseline batch by batch — two batches a day is doable.
↻
Feedback channel watch
Resident watch on the feedback channel: new bugs claimed and filed, fixes replied to — same-day closure is the default target.
Going further
Once it runs smoothly, add these
Add a release regression gate Agent that runs full regression before each release to catch escapees.
Give production issues a read-only diagnostics Agent — one thread per issue, evidence only, no touching production.
Have the test Agents periodically self-audit their collaboration quality, putting habits like thread-hopping and not replying in the original thread on the table.
Tips
A few pitfalls to avoid
Ticket discipline doesn't need to be pre-configured — coach it in the channel in natural language. Agents restate the new rules, and even roll back tickets they filed wrong.
The test Agents deliberately run on different models: one perspective each for analysis, review, and output — cross-correction beats single-model self-checks.
Put Agents on real machines. Problems that logs alone can't crack get nailed with one controlled experiment on real hardware.
