Implement Fix: GitHub Issue #$ARGUMENTS
Prerequisites
This command implements fixes for GitHub issues based on RCA documents:
-
Working in a local Git repository with GitHub origin
-
RCA document exists at docs/rca/issue-$ARGUMENTS.md
-
GitHub CLI installed and authenticated (optional, for status updates)
RCA Document to Reference
Read RCA: docs/rca/issue-$ARGUMENTS.md
Optional - View GitHub issue for context:
gh issue view $ARGUMENTS
Implementation Instructions
- Read and Understand RCA
-
Read the ENTIRE RCA document thoroughly
-
Review the GitHub issue details (issue #$ARGUMENTS)
-
Understand the root cause
-
Review the proposed fix strategy
-
Note all files to modify
-
Review testing requirements
- Verify Current State
Before making changes:
-
Confirm the issue still exists
-
Check current state of affected files
-
Review any recent changes to those files
- Implement the Fix
Following the "Proposed Fix" section of the RCA:
For each file to modify:
a. Read the existing file
-
Understand current implementation
-
Locate the specific code mentioned in RCA
b. Make the fix
-
Implement the change as described in RCA
-
Follow the fix strategy exactly
-
Maintain code style and conventions
-
Add comments if the fix is non-obvious
c. Handle related changes
-
Update any related code affected by the fix
-
Ensure consistency across the codebase
-
Update imports if needed
- Add/Update Tests
Following the "Testing Requirements" from RCA:
Create test cases for:
-
Verify the fix resolves the issue
-
Test edge cases related to the bug
-
Ensure no regression in related functionality
-
Test any new code paths introduced
Test file location:
-
Follow project's test structure
-
Mirror the source file location
-
Use descriptive test names
Test implementation:
def test_issue_$ARGUMENTS_fix(): """Test that issue #$ARGUMENTS is fixed.""" # Arrange - set up the scenario that caused the bug # Act - execute the code that previously failed # Assert - verify it now works correctly
- Run Validation
Execute validation commands from RCA:
Run linters
[from RCA validation commands]
Run type checking
[from RCA validation commands]
Run tests
[from RCA validation commands]
If validation fails:
-
Fix the issues
-
Re-run validation
-
Don't proceed until all pass
- Verify Fix
Manually verify:
-
Follow reproduction steps from RCA
-
Confirm issue no longer occurs
-
Test edge cases
-
Check for unintended side effects
- Update Documentation
If needed:
-
Update code comments
-
Update API documentation
-
Update README if user-facing
-
Add notes about the fix

Notes
-
If the RCA document is missing or incomplete, request it be created first with /rca $ARGUMENTS
-
If you discover the RCA analysis was incorrect, document findings and update the RCA
-
If additional issues are found during implementation, note them for separate GitHub issues and RCAs
-
Follow project coding standards exactly
-
Ensure all validation passes before declaring complete
-
The commit message Fixes #$ARGUMENTS will link the commit to the GitHub issue
