Skill: Report Environment Issue

Capture issues that are outside the current work package's control, so recurring environment friction becomes visible and can be improved over time.

When to Use

Use when work is blocked or degraded by the environment rather than by the product code or gated scope, for example:

• missing tool, binary, permission, or credential
• sandbox, network, proxy, or filesystem restriction
• installer, path, symlink, or harness configuration problem
• tool, MCP, or browser provider failure or flakiness
• provider, model, or runtime constraint

Do not use for product bugs, review findings, plan changes, or user-owned decisions. Those keep their own workflows.

Execution Model

• The Maintainer records issues it observed directly or that a subagent reported in its return or digest.
• doc-explorer may maintain the log when routed for bulk curation or deduplication cleanup.
• Subagents do not write the log; they surface a compact Environment: <category>: <symptom> note in their return.

Workflow

1. Decide whether the issue is environmental (outside the work package's control) and whether it is fixable now.

• Fixable within the current package and scope → fix it; do not log it.
• Not fixable now → record it here.

1. Read docs/environment-issues.md if it exists; otherwise create it from tpl-environment-issues.md.
2. Match an existing entry by category plus normalized symptom.

• Match → increment occurrences, update last seen, adjust status or workaround if changed, and append a history line.
• No match → assign the next ENV-NNN ID and add both a summary row and an entry.

1. Keep entries short and evidence-based. Never invent a cause; record the exact symptom and the observed workaround.
2. Report the recorded ID back to the user or main loop.

Output Contract

Return only:

• Recorded: ENV-NNN (new) | ENV-NNN (updated) | none
• File: docs/environment-issues.md
• Summary: one line: category + symptom
• Next: stop | primary decision required

Write Boundary

• Writes: docs/environment-issues.md only.
• Does not write code, plans, or other docs.
• Append-only history: never delete an entry; mark it mitigated or resolved instead.
• No Git operations.

Rules

• One issue per entry; do not bundle unrelated failures.
• Deduplicate aggressively; a recurring issue increases its count instead of creating a duplicate.
• Record a workaround even when the root cause is unknown.
• Do not log a problem that is fixable within the current package; fix it instead.
• Omit secrets, tokens, and personal data from evidence.
• Do not scaffold docs/environment-issues.md when no issue exists.

Templates

• tpl-environment-issues.md — canonical log structure and entry format.
