Write a clear bug report

This prompt turns messy notes into a bug report a developer can act on. You give the product, what happened, what you expected and the environment, and it writes a title and steps to reproduce.

Turn my notes into a clear bug report.

Product: [APP OR SITE]
What happened: [ROUGH NOTES]
Expected result: [WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN]
Environment: [BROWSER / OS / VERSION]

Write: title, steps to reproduce (numbered), expected vs actual result, severity, and what extra information (logs, screenshots) would help. Short, factual, no blame.

A bug that can be reproduced in three steps gets fixed first.

What you will get

A short report with a plain title, numbered steps anyone can follow, expected and actual results side by side, a severity rating, and a list of logs or screenshots that would help the developer.

Common mistake

The steps skip the first click.

Fix: Write your rough notes from a clean start, such as “open the app, sign in”, so step one is not already halfway through the problem.

Also watch for

The severity is inflated. Tell the AI how many people are affected and whether a workaround exists. Severity follows impact, not how annoying it felt.
Versions and browser are vague. Paste the exact version number and operating system. “Latest Chrome” is not reproducible a month later.

Try a variation: make it a one-line ticket

Ask for a ticket title under 70 characters plus three bullet points, for teams that keep the full detail in a comment instead.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the structure. Cut any sentence that is opinion, and add one line on how often the bug happens and on which devices.
