Agent Improvement Proposal

Pattern Detected

Type: prompt_improvement
Affected Agent: bug-hunt-pool-supervisor
Evidence: The bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md agent definition specifies the tracking issue prefix as [AUTO-BUG-POOL] (in the "Tracking Issue Format" section). However, the actual tracking issues created by this agent use the prefix [AUTO-BUG-SUP] — as seen in issue #7470 titled "[AUTO-BUG-SUP] Bug Hunt Status (Cycle 4)". The system watchdog (issue #7511) also references this agent as "AUTO-BUG-SUP" in its health audit. This inconsistency means the agent definition does not match actual behavior, which could confuse future agents or humans reading the definition.

Proposed Change

Update the bug-hunt-pool-supervisor.md agent definition to change the tracking prefix from [AUTO-BUG-POOL] to [AUTO-BUG-SUP] to match the actual behavior observed in production. Specifically, the "Tracking Issue Format" section currently reads:

- **Health Reports**: `[AUTO-BUG-POOL] Bug Detection Report (Cycle N)`
- **Announcements**: `[AUTO-BUG-POOL] Announce: <message summary>`

This should be updated to:

- **Health Reports**: `[AUTO-BUG-SUP] Bug Hunt Status (Cycle N)`
- **Announcements**: `[AUTO-BUG-SUP] Announce: <message summary>`

The tracking type should also be updated from "Bug Detection Report" to "Bug Hunt Status" to match actual usage.

Expected Impact

  • Agent definition accurately reflects actual behavior
  • Reduces confusion for humans and other agents reading the definition
  • Ensures the watchdog's health audit (which checks for "AUTO-BUG-SUP") continues to work correctly
  • Prevents future agent instances from using the wrong prefix

Risk Assessment

  • Very low risk: This is a documentation-only change to the agent definition
  • No behavioral change: The agent already uses the correct prefix in practice; this just aligns the definition
  • Potential issue: If a new agent instance reads the definition and uses the old prefix, it would create duplicate tracking issues. This fix prevents that.

This is a proposal from the agent evolver. A human must approve this issue before the change will be implemented. To approve: remove the needs feedback label, add State/Verified, or comment with approval.
