Short answer

How do I create and manage bug tasks with my AI?

You can tell your agent to log a new bug or update an existing one in BugHerd. It handles the task creation and status changes through your chat interface. You'll see your BugHerd board stay updated as you talk to your agent.

Task outcomes

Where your bug reports land.

Your agent moves data between these states in BugHerd.

NEW

Fresh bug reports

The agent uses create_task to add new issues to your board. You get a new entry in BugHerd immediately.

UPDATE

Adjusted priorities

The agent uses update_task to change how urgent a bug is. This keeps your backlog organized.

STATUS

Progress tracking

The agent uses update_task to move bugs from open to resolved. Your board stays current with your actual work.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The agent can't decide which bugs are critical for you. You still need to look at the board to make final triage calls.

The workflow

What your AI does when a bug is reported.

The agent acts as a bridge between your conversation and your BugHerd board.

  1. Log the issue

    When you describe a problem, the agent creates a new entry in BugHerd with the details you provided.

    create_task

  2. Check details

    If you need to know more about a specific bug, the agent pulls the current information from BugHerd.

    get_task

  3. Change priority

    You can tell the agent to make a bug more or less important, and it updates the task accordingly.

    update_task

  4. Close tasks

    Once a fix is verified, the agent updates the task status to reflect that it is finished.

    update_task
