Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive bug report or issue link
- ThenReproduce bug and edit source code
- ResultSubmit patch after code review

Inspect software issues in a codebase by running terminal commands, navigating source files, and writing reproduction tests. Once a fix is verified against test suites, draft a clean patch and prepare a pull request for review.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given an issue description or repository link, explore relevant files using terminal commands. Write a reproduction script to isolate the bug, apply the necessary code modifications, and execute repository test suites to confirm no regressions occur. Summarize the root cause, display the full patch diff, and require explicit approval before pushing any commits or opening a pull request.
