reporting-workable-itemslisted

Use whenever anything trackable is reported or discovered — a bug, a defect, a regression, a feature request, an internal task, a gap, "this is broken", "we should add X", "remember to do Y" — or when the operator invokes /issue, /bug, /task (or their /helix: and /default- forms, or the ISSUE/BUG/TASK action prefixes). Use it BEFORE answering a report in prose, and use it to check whether a report you are about to acknowledge has actually been turned into a real tracked item.

# Reporting Workable Items (§11.4.202 · §11.4.148 · §11.4.171) **A report that is only acknowledged is a lost requirement.** Answering "yes, that's a bug, I'll look into it" in prose — without creating a tracked item — is a §11.4.197 requirements-integrity violation: the requirement was accepted, then silently evaporated. Every report becomes a **real, fully-populated, fully-synced workable item**, or it is explicitly and honestly refused. ## The three report directives | Directive | Use when | Resulting Type | |---|---|---| | `/helix:bug` (`/default-bug`) | A product **defect** — regression, user-visible broken behaviour | `Bug` | | `/task` | An internal **workstream** — refactor, doc, infra, gate, audit | `Task` | | `/issue` | **Anything trackable**, type not yet decided | classified into `{Bug｜Feature｜Task}` | Note: the bare `/bug` collides with Claude Code's built-in — always use `/helix:bug` or `/default-bug` (see the `action-prefix-system` skill). ## Classification is a closed set (§11.4.16) `Bug` · `Feature` · `Task`. **There is no fourth type and no "Issue" type** — `/issue` is an *entry point*, not a type. Inventing a type is a §11.4.16 violation. - Classify from the report's own content, stated as **FACT** (§11.4.6 — never a guess). - If the content does not determine the type, **ASK** (§11.4.66 / §11.4.105) before creating the item. - Only when running autonomously where asking is impossible (§11.4.101), default to the lowest-stakes `Task`, record the
