What it does

Report Bug is an agent skill from barefootford/buttercut. Report a ButterCut bug to the people who build it. Use automatically when a ButterCut command fails in a way that looks like ButterCut's own fault, and when the user says "report this", "send a bug report", "tell the ButterCut team", or "this is broken".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: Edit Video with Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Says report this
  • Send a bug report
  • Tell the ButterCut team

Example prompts

  • “s own fault, and when the user says”
  • “send a bug report”
  • “tell the ButterCut team”
  • “/report-bug”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Is this worth reporting?
  2. What has the user agreed to?
  3. Take the user's work out of it
  4. Send it
  5. Say one sentence and get back to work

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 352c1e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ruby

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Report Bug loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 643 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 643 words (~1,194 tokens).

“Something in ButterCut broke. Decide whether it's worth reporting, strip the user's work out of it, and send it to the ButterCut team.”
