This skill should be used when the user says "bug spec", "arness code bug spec", "investigate this bug", "help me debug", "trace this bug", "diagnose this issue", "I found a bug", "something is broken", "why is X not working", "fix this bug", "debug this", "why is this not working", or wants to iteratively investigate a bug through guided conversation with diagnostic analysis. Bridges the gap between a bug report and either a direct fix or a structured bug specification for the Arness pipeline.

From the source SKILL.md

Investigate a bug through iterative conversation, aided by diagnostic analysis from the arn-code-investigator agent, architectural validation from the arn-code-architect agent, and optional automated fix execution from the arn-code-bug-fixer agent. Every bug investigation gets its own project folder (BUGFIX_<name>/) in the plans directory. For simple bugs, the artifact is a fix plus a bug fix report. For complex bugs, the artifact is a bug specification written to .arness/specs/ that informs plan creation via the /arn-code-plan skill.
