# Sandboxed bug reproduction and patch drafting

Reproduce errors in an isolated environment, run tests, and prepare code fixes for review

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=sandboxed-bug-reproduction-and-patch-drafting)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/sandboxed-bug-reproduction-and-patch-drafting/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/sandboxed-bug-reproduction-and-patch-drafting/)

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

- When something happensBug ticket assigned in Linear
- ThenRun tests and draft fix in sandbox
- ResultRequest approval to open pull request

When a bug ticket arrives, the bot investigates the relevant codebase, runs reproduction commands in a secure sandbox terminal, and generates a minimal fix alongside regression tests. It outlines the root cause and test results so engineers can review the code before any pull request is opened.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When an issue is assigned, clone the repository in the terminal and inspect relevant logs. Reproduce the bug by executing test suites inside the isolated sandbox. Implement a focused code fix and add unit tests to verify the resolution. Never push branches, open pull requests, or modify external issue tickets without explicit approval. Present the diagnostic summary, diff, and test outputs for review.
