 "page_title": "How to fix a failing test or bug in a repo from the terminal with Alphacode",
 "summary": "Give AlphaCode a bug report and let it inspect the code, edit files, and run tests.",
 "who": "A developer whose test suite is failing or whose app has a regression and who wants a first-pass fix to review.",
 "problem": "Tracing a failure through unfamiliar code and running the right tests takes time away from the actual fix.",
 "outcome": "A proposed change to the repo, with the relevant tests run and a report of what changed and what was checked.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonked2/alphacode/main/scripts/install.sh | bash` on macOS or Linux, or `irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonked2/alphacode/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex` in PowerShell on Windows.",
  "Run `alphacode doctor` to check your environment.",
  "Change into your project folder and run `alphacode run \"fix the failing test\"`, or replace the quoted text with your own request.",
  "Review the diff and the test results the agent reports before you commit anything.",
  "Run `alphacode` to open the interactive UI if you want to follow up on the same task."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the dragonked2/alphacode repo to fix the failing test in <project path>. Run the relevant tests after the change and report the changed files and test results. Verify that the failing test now passes and that no other tests were newly broken.",
